The museum offers a good insight into soldiers' lives during World War I. Using an augmented reality helmet, visitors can travel through the underground citadel. Admission is €16 per person (as of October 2025). However, for background information, it is recommended to visit the Verdun Memorial beforehand.

Inaugurated in 1928, this war memorial in Verdun honours the city’s inhabitants who died for France in both world wars. It was built on the remains of a military butcher’s shop, on the crescent of the Chaussée, a 17th-century fortification. The sculpture depicts five soldiers – a cavalier, an engineer, an infantryman (poilu), an artilleryman and a territorial – forming a symbolic wall under the motto of Verdun: “On ne passe pas”.

The gate is a former part of the city fortifications.

A huge monument honoring the fallen soldiers in and around Verdun. From the top, there's a magnificent view of the city.

The Saint Paul Gate was built into the city walls in the 19th century and consists of two arches (entrance/exit), each arch having a drawbridge. It connected the Verdun station, where the conscripts came from, to the city centre and in particular to the Jeanne d'Arc barracks. In the 1920s, the destruction of the city walls, already weakened by the bombardments, was completed. Only the Saint Paul Gate was spared and was embellished with commemorative columns in honour of the victory of Verdun and the reconstruction of the city.

The Citadel of Verdun is a symbolic and strategic site of the Battle of Verdun, nestled in stone. It will be a visit like no other during which you will walk through the underground galleries thanks to augmented reality. This unmissable memorial site immerses us in the lives of the soldiers during the war, 16 meters under the rock. An unprecedented experience! Triggered?

The monument consists of five figures representing the five corps of the army involved in the 1916 battle: a horseman, an engineer, a territorial man, an infantryman and an artilleryman.

The monument to the dead and children of Verdun, built in 1928, rests on the crescent-shaped road built in the 17th century by order of Marshal Vauban. It stands on the site of the military butchery that was destroyed in 1916.
