Tips
The Abri-Caverne de Douaumont was an underground shelter for French troops during the Battle of Verdun. Carved into the limestone bedrock, this shelter offered protection from artillery fire and served as a rest and assembly point close to the front line. Strategically located near Fort de Douaumont, it played a crucial role in supplying and sheltering soldiers during the fiercest fighting of 1916.
