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

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 imposing bulwark on the Meuse River in Verdun is not only a memorial but also a representative example of contemporary history. Visit the underground citadel. You will be led into the vault and board a carriage. You will be equipped with headphones in your own language and 3D glasses. The story of three soldiers will be reenacted on September 13, 1916, on a rainy morning, returning from the Fleury front to Verdun. They were ordered to participate in the ceremony in the citadel. The "election of the unknown soldier" made this place a symbol of this terrible history. No photos are permitted during the tour. Opening hours vary depending on the season. Be sure to dress warmly, as it is always cold in the mountains (7 degrees Celsius).

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.

Medieval city gate from the 14th century, built as part of the Grand Rempart around the lower town of Verdun. The gate was financed by Wautrec, a wealthy citizen and alderman, after the granting of Verdun's status as a free imperial city in 1374. The gate consists of two semi-circular towers with a portcullis and the remains of a drawbridge. It has been a listed historical monument since 1881.

The Ossuary of Douaumont is an impressive memorial that holds the remains of more than 130,000 unknown French and German soldiers who died during the Battle of Verdun (1916). The bones are visible through small windows in the base – a confronting reminder of the horrors of war. In front of the ossuary is the Nécropole nationale de Douaumont, the largest French military cemetery of the First World War, with 16,142 graves, including a Muslim and Jewish plot. The complex was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2023.

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”.
