The chances of spotting birds are particularly good in the early morning or late afternoon. Ideal for nature lovers and families.

This monument depicts a recumbent French soldier and is dedicated to André Thomé, a member of parliament who volunteered for the front and was killed at Verdun on 10 March 1916. Although exempted from service as a politician, he chose to fight. The sculpture, by Alexandre Descatoire, is entitled Le Soldat du Droit – the soldier of the right – and symbolises the sacrifice of just men for a higher ideal.

The Abri-Caverne de Douaumont was an underground shelter for French troops during the Battle of Verdun. Carved into the limestone bedrock, this shelter offered protection from artillery fire and served as a rest and assembly point close to the front line. Strategically located near Fort de Douaumont, it played a crucial role in supplying and sheltering soldiers during the fiercest fighting of 1916.

The Mémorial de Verdun, located near the ruined village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont, is a leading museum and commemoration site for the Battle of Verdun (1916). The museum displays more than 2,000 objects and uses authentic objects, photographs and audiovisual installations to show how French and German soldiers experienced this battle – in the exact same place where they fought.

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. Its compact size and robustness made it particularly suitable for use in the heavily damaged terrain around Verdun.

The French 155mm artillery piece displayed in front of the entrance to the Verdun Memorial museum is the eye-catcher of the welcome.

Small memorial column so that Henri Waechter would never be forgotten. Note the concrete block with iron rod in it next to the memorial. Such blocks were used to attach barbed wire. You will find many of these remains in the entire area.
