We are going to visit one of the largest French WW1 Museums, that tells in vivid details the history of the longest battle in WW1 through stunning objects, images and video.
Stop and visit at the largest French WW1 Ossuary. This imposing monument is an Art Déco masterpiece, it houses the remains of 130,000 unidentified French and German soldiers, and is imprinted with the coat of arms of the cities who financed its construction.
Step back in time and explore the Fort of Douaumont, a site that encapsulates the dramatic narrative of the Battle of Verdun in World War I. This important fort was captured by enemy forces in February 1916 and only regained by French troops in October of the same year. It symbolizes the intense struggles and resilience displayed during this historic battle. Walking through the corridors and chambers of the Fort of Douaumont, you'll be transported to a pivotal moment in history when soldiers from different nations fought fiercely for control of this strategic stronghold. It's a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War.
As we arrive through the city center, you'll be greeted by the tranquil and picturesque setting along the Meuse River. Verdun's charm is further accentuated by its Quai de Londres, a large pedestrian area by the canalized river. This bustling thoroughfare is lined with shops, bars, and restaurants, offering a delightful mix of local flavors and experiences. Here, you can enjoy a meal at one of the riverside restaurants, where the views of the Meuse add a serene backdrop to your lunch experience.
Discover history like never before at the Citadelle of Verdun, where augmented reality (AR) brings the past to life. This immersive tour vividly recreates the experiences of 4 World War I French soldiers on a break from the front. Your journey through the Citadelle will take you on a ride through its extensive network of underground tunnels. Here, the blend of historical narrative and AR creates a captivating environment, allowing you to witness the unfolding of historical events in a dynamic way.
