Traces and relics of the terrible events of the First World War between 1914 and 1918 can be found throughout the area.

16,000 fallen French soldiers are buried here. War is so pointless.

The shelter now serves as a summer roost for a large colony of bats that should not be disturbed by visitors.

The FT3 combat shelter was built in 1906 on the right bank of the Meuse River as part of the Verdun fortress system, designed to house 100 infantry soldiers. During the Battle of Verdun in 1916, it was converted into a command post (PC118) and changed hands multiple times between French and German forces. The shelter was heavily damaged by French artillery when occupied by German troops, particularly on its vulnerable masonry facade facing Verdun, rendering it unusable.

The Douaumont National Necropolis was established in 1923 on 14.4 hectares and officially inaugurated on June 23, 1929, by French President Gaston Doumergue. The cemetery contains 16,142 graves of French soldiers, including a Muslim section with 592 steles and monuments dedicated to soldiers of both Muslim and Jewish faiths.

A memorial dedicated to Jewish soldiers who died fighting for France during World War I, located near the Douaumont Ossuary south of Fleury-devant-Douaumont. Erected in 1938, the monument features a large stone wall with Hebrew inscriptions and French dedication, designed to evoke the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. It honors both French and allied Jewish soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 1914-1918 conflict.

A place of remembrance in a site steeped in history.

This impressive memorial, erected in 1938 by architect Stern, commemorates the French, Allied and foreign Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The 25-metre-long stele symbolises their sacrifice and is a rare tribute to the Jewish contribution to the war effort in France.
