Verdun is a very beautiful city that has been very important since the Middle Ages. It's lovely to walk through the place and admire it.

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.

Nice road for cycling and avoiding busy roads.

This peaceful place is the resting place of 5,590 German soldiers who died during the First World War, mainly during the battles around Saint-Mihiel and the Heights of the Meuse. After the war, the cemetery was set up by the French authorities as a collective burial ground. In 1970, the wooden crosses were replaced by metal ones with names and dates. A silent witness to the fierce battle that raged here between 1914 and 1918.

The Meuse at Verdun plays a crucial role in both the landscape and the history of the region. Cutting deeply through the hilly terrain, it has provided a natural defensive advantage—something that became painfully clear during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War. In addition to its strategic importance, the Meuse also has a more peaceful face: it flows peacefully along the banks of the city of Verdun, connecting the past with the present in a landscape that breathes history.

The "Lac de Madine" lake and its marina, part of the "Parc naturel régional de Lorraine," are featured in the komoot system not only for joggers, but also as a highlight for various sports, including hikers, with additional photos uploaded there.

Lac de Madine is an artificial lake of almost 10 km², created in the 1970s as a water reservoir for the city of Metz. It is located in the heart of the Lorraine Regional Nature Park and is part of the Natura 2000 network for its ecological value. The lake has two islands, 250 hectares of forest and 42 km of shoreline. In addition to its role in the drinking water supply, it is an important recreational area with two main sites: Nonsard-Lamarche and Heudicourt-sous-les-Côtes. Visitors will find marinas, beaches, cycle and walking routes, restaurants and nature reserves.
