The route along the Meuse is beautiful and peaceful to drive and offers one or two highlights.

From here you can enjoy a great view of the old town.

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 route is really very nice

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.

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”.

The gate is a former part of the city fortifications.
