ヴィターヴィルのおすすめツーリングルート

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.

🏰 **Château de Cons-la-Grandville – A Journey Through the Centuries** The imposing castle of **Cons-la-Grandville**, near the border with Luxembourg, combines Romanesque origins with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Built on the foundations of a Gallo-Roman villa, it was expanded and remodeled several times from the 11th century onwards. Particularly worth seeing: the Romanesque cloister, the elegant façade, and the magnificent courtyard. 🕰️ The château was the residence of the noble de Cons family, later also a monastery, and has been lovingly restored. Today it is a listed monument and open to visitors. **Tip:** Be sure to visit the cloister – one of the oldest preserved of its kind in Lorraine. Ideal as a stopover on the way between France and Luxembourg.

It is nice to see that the water level of the canal is much higher than the water level of the stream.

Nice gravel along the Maas side. You will find here now and then a bank and now and then a lock. Also striking how much higher the water of the canal is compared to the water of the stream.

Here, a newly constructed, small wooden tower offers a view of a branch of the Meuse River flowing along its natural bed. There are also tables and benches for a rest.

This rest area just above the main road offers a beautiful view of the Meuse and the opposite side of the river

Located near the Porte Chaussée and the Verdun War Memorial, this contemporary metal sculpture was designed by the artist Jean-No and created by students from the Lycée Professionnel Eugène Freyssinet. Created to mark the centenary of the Battle of Verdun, it symbolises the living memory of the conflict. The installation connects the past and the future through education and art.

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”.
