At the heart of Les Éparges, you will find the Espace Maurice Genevoix, a memorial space dedicated to the writer-soldier who was seriously wounded here in 1915. His moving testimony Ceux de 14 gave a voice to the fallen of WWI. Right next to the building, a bronze bust of Genevoix, unveiled in 2015, underlines his enduring link with the place. Together, they form a powerful tribute to literature, memory and camaraderie.

This granite memorial is part of a series of 118 monuments erected in the 1920s by artist and veteran Paul Moreau-Vauthier. They mark the exact front line of 18 July 1918, the start of the Allied counter-attack during the Second Battle of the Marne. The Haudiomont memorial recalls the fierce fighting in this region and is a tangible milestone on the route of remembrance of WWI.

Beautiful view over Verdun and the Meuse valley. On the nearby main road it is wonderful to drive downhill, but uphill is only recommended to a limited extent due to the busy traffic.

Casemate Pamart – Fort de Souville This concrete machine gun bunker was built in 1917 to reinforce the defences of Fort de Souville. Designed by Commandant Pamart, the Casemate offered an easy-to-install alternative to traditional gun turrets. Equipped with two Hotchkiss machine guns, it has a field of fire of 160°, with 14 cm of armour thickness. Its compact size and robustness made it particularly suitable for use in the heavily damaged terrain around Verdun.

Built in 1881 above the Tunnel de Tavannes to reinforce the inner defensive belt of Verdun. The battery had three firing platforms and a traverse shelter, and was originally armed with two 220 mm mortars and one 22 cm smoothbore mortar. In 1900 it was disarmed and reused during the Battle of Verdun (1916) as an ammunition depot and shelter for troops. The traverse shelter is the best preserved element visible today.

Built in 1881 as part of the inner defensive belt of Verdun, between Fort de Souville and Fort de Tavannes. The battery consisted of six 120 mm and two 95 mm guns, aimed at strategic targets such as Douaumont and the Bois d’Hardaumont. Due to the crisis of the shell-torpille type, it was disarmed in 1900 and served as a shelter for troops and ammunition during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The masonry construction, covered with earth, offered limited protection against modern artillery.

The Hospital Batteries, also called Battery 8-5, are First Aid Posts located between Forts Souville and Fort de Tavannes. They are part of the stronghold of Verdun. First aid was administered in these shelters. You will come across several shelters on this segment. Some have collapsed, others are more or less accessible at your own risk.
