This impressive American WWI memorial was dedicated in 1937 to commemorate the victory of the American First Army during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive (26 September – 11 November 1918). The 54-metre-high Doric granite column, designed by John Russell Pope, is topped by a statue symbolising liberty. The monument stands on the hill of Montfaucon, where a medieval monastery once stood and where the Americans achieved a strategic victory in 1918.

Tips: Climb the 234 steps to the viewing platform for a panoramic view of the former battlefield. Read the inscriptions at the foot of the monument with the names of the participating divisions.

The National Necropolis of Chattancourt mainly contains the remains of soldiers who died for France during the fighting around Verdun in 1914 to 1918, that is to say 1,699 bodies and 27 bodies of soldiers who died between 1939 and 1945. This cemetery was created during the Battle of Verdun and was further developed from 1920 to 1925 to bring together other bodies of soldiers buried in temporary military cemeteries on the left bank of the Meuse.

Villages détruits, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme is one of the nine villages that were destroyed during the Battle of Verdun. Historical context: Nine villages: Beaumont-en-Verdunois, Bezonvaux, Cumières-le-Mort-Homme, Douaumont, Fleury-devant-Douaumont, Haumont-près-Samogneux, Louvemont-Côte-du-poivre, Ornes and Vaux-devant-Damloup. They were all in the “Red Zone” of the front line in the Battle of Verdun. The villages were wiped off the map and never rebuilt. Erected chapels remind passers-by of this war horror.

At this location, you are standing in front of the memorial of Blessed Jeanne Gérard, a nun with the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, who devoted her life to the sick and the poor and met a tragic end. In fact, she was beheaded during the Terror. Jeanne Gérard was the first of the four nuns to be guillotined on 25 June 1794. In 1920, they were all beatified by Pope Pius X. Historical context: Because Jeanne Gérard refused to take the constitutional oath, she was arrested and transferred to Cambrai in 1794, where she was guillotined. She was beatified in 1920 and given the title of ‘Blessed’. A monument was erected in Cumières in her memory in 1960. A bas-relief of her image is still visible.

Magnificent citadel to visit absolutely!
