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

A very beautiful and interesting monument.

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.

This impressive American WWI memorial was dedicated in 1937 to commemorate the victory of the American First Army during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive (26 September – 11 November 1918). The 54-metre-high Doric granite column, designed by John Russell Pope, is topped by a statue symbolising liberty. The monument stands on the hill of Montfaucon, where a medieval monastery once stood and where the Americans achieved a strategic victory in 1918.

Église Notre-Dame – Varennes-en-Argonne Originally built in the 12th and 13th centuries, this church was destroyed during World War I and carefully rebuilt with its distinctive neoclassical tower and 18th-century façade2. Inside, you’ll find a mix of ancient art and more modern elements, including a 12th-century Vierge à l’Enfant, colourful stained glass windows by Jacques Grüber and a 20th-century organ.

The Nécropole Nationale de la Forestière in Lachalade is a military cemetery that keeps alive the memory of the soldiers who died in the First World War. This serene memorial was created in 1915 and later expanded to collect the remains of soldiers who fought in the Argonne region between 1914 and 1918. Today, 2,005 soldiers rest there, and the cemetery is famous for its blue, pink and white hydrangeas, planted by the Comtesse de Martimprey in tribute to her missing husband. The site has been classified as a World Heritage Site since September 2023, and nearby is a monument to the Italian volunteers who fought in the Argonne, including the grandsons of Giuseppe Garibaldi
