Fort Douaumont is a remnant of the First World War. One of the most powerful constructions and a symbol of the Battle of Verdun. More than a return to the past, a visit to this place immerses us in the heart of a legendary confrontation and tells us about the lives of those who lost their lives there. Fort Douaumont was built between 1884 and 1886 and was an extremely strategic location during the Battle of Verdun. It is also to this battle that the Fort owes its fame. The fort has been a listed historical monument since 1970 and, at an altitude of 400 metres, it offers a view of the valley south-west of Douaumont. As a building barely finished, it was almost immediately outdated because of its masonry construction. Indeed, at that time, new shells were able to destroy masonry structures. That is why Fort Douaumont was covered with a thick layer of concrete in the most sensitive and exposed places. The effectiveness and resistance of the weapons make this fort one of the most powerful buildings in the entrenched camp of Verdun. From the beginning of the First World War, the village of Douaumont and its surroundings were put in a state of defense: trenches were dug, barricades were built, barricades were hung. At first, the village managed to defend itself. But, from 1915, the village could no longer hold out. The stabilization of the front line then changed the type of battle. On February 21, 1916, the Germans attacked Verdun. Fort Douaumont was a privileged target: in two days, it was hit by 800 shells. In a few days, the front line came dangerously close to the fort. Four days after the start of the battle, it was already in the hands of the German army. For eight months, the French army fought to retake the fort, using many shells. It was not until October 1916, after 6 days of preparation and the deployment of exceptionally dense artillery, that yet another attack succeeded in recapturing the fort. In the Fort Douaumont Museum, many films, photos, archive material and testimonies tell the story of the fort and the heroic soldiers who fought there. A moving discovery that is a good addition to a visit to the fort. Source: https://www.landofmemory.eu/nl/sites-historiques/fort-douaumont/

This monument, 'Trench of the Bayonet' was built by an American patron. It is based on a legend: the French soldiers who were buried standing in their trenches during heavy bombardments. It remains in the collective memory as a symbolic location of the Battlefield of Verdun. This is a place of reflection.

The Myth of the First World War “In memory of the French soldiers who sleep standing, rifle in hand, in this trench – their brothers in America.” This is the inscription in front of the Memorial of the Battle of Verdun in the ghost town of Douaumont. The monument was financed by a wealthy American banker, George T. Rand, who was moved by the famous legend surrounding the site. It is said that French soldiers buried standing, with weapons in hand, died from enemy shells. Bayonet Trench is one of the myths of the First World War. In 1922, it was classified as a historical monument and in 2014 it was considered a site of national importance. After the war, excavations uncovered 21 bodies of French soldiers. Fourteen were identified and buried in the Necropolis of Fleury, opposite Douaumont. The seven other bodies that remained unknown were reburied in the "Bayonet Trench". For many, the myth persists, while others question it. Especially since no body was found standing upright. In any case, the legend of the "Bayonet Trenches" shows above all how much the Great War left an almost indelible mark on the collective imagination. As the bloody conflict of the Battle of Verdun drew to a close, glorious stories quickly emerged in which the nation sacrificed itself for the fatherland.

Site that leaves you speechless. The year is 1916 - At Douaumont, 57 French soldiers are buried under a bombardment... On 8 December 1920, the President of the Republic, Alexandre Millerand, inaugurated an impressive concrete monument in the Morchée forest, designed by the architect A. Ventre, which covers the graves of seven unknown French infantrymen who died in 1916. The metal door that gives access to the "trench" thus covered is the work of Edgard Brandt, an artistic ironworker, who in 1923 also created the bronze incense burner where the flame flickers on the tomb of the unknown soldier at the Arc de Triomphe. In 1920, this site, a memorial to the veterans of the 137th RI who had fought here, was excavated by the war graves service and the civil registry service of the 6th military region and excavations were carried out. 21 Frenchmen were found, including an unknown lieutenant. No one was standing with a weapon in their hand and the rusty rifles sticking out of the ground only served to indicate that the enemy had buried the dead in a shallow trench. The discovery of these unarmed bodies refutes the legend that the company was buried standing during the bombardment. This legend was refuted by the veterans of the 137th themselves and nevertheless still crops up regularly. Of these 21 bodies, 14 were identified and buried in the military cemetery of Fleury. However, this cemetery was later decommissioned and the bodies were then grouped together in the national necropolis of Douaumont. The remaining 7 unknown men were reburied in the "Trench". Carcasses of rifles with broken bayonets (the original weapons had been removed during the excavations) were buried near wooden Latin crosses.

This spot is the perfect place to travel back in time. From the beginning of the Battle of Verdun, Fort de Vaux was one of the priority targets of the German offensive. In early March 1916, the Germans came within a few hundred metres of the fort and began a siege that lasted 100 days. Inside the fort, under a barrage of artillery fire, resistance was organised despite the lack of food and water. On 1 June 1916, the Germans reached the fort: the French garrison, isolated and without outside support, fought a week of heroic fighting inside the fort before being defeated by exhaustion. Triggered? Buy a combined ticket and immerse yourself in the history of this episode in the war of 14-18 with a visit to Fort de Vaux. The tour gives an insight into the daily living conditions of the besieged soldiers in the heart of the fort. A must-see for any history buff.
