The old city tour of Verdun is very impressive to see.

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.

It is nice to see that the water level of the canal is much higher than the water level of the stream.

Tevens stands at the church's image: The Cross of the Hunters of Briant Cross of the Hunters of Driant in Vacherauville (Meuse) after the First World War. At the end of 1915, the monument in the form of a statue of France, sword in hand, imploring the heavens for victory was erected, but destroyed by the Germans in February 1916. At the end of the conflict, the former hunters erected a new, identical statue, but this time with the sword in its sheath, as shown on the Bleujonquille website.

Notice how the water level of the canal is higher than the water level of the Meuse.

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.

Located near the Porte Chaussée and the Verdun War Memorial, this contemporary metal sculpture was designed by the artist Jean-No and created by students from the Lycée Professionnel Eugène Freyssinet. Created to mark the centenary of the Battle of Verdun, it symbolises the living memory of the conflict. The installation connects the past and the future through education and art.

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”.
