Don't skip the visitors center where there is an interesting exhibit on the history of the cemetery and some of its "inhabitants".

Super historical close to the Mort Homme Hill. Staff are very dedicated and it shows that they work hard. Worth the stop for sure. A short, but incredibly unique and awesome experience.

The only thing left from this tiny village is its streetplan now converted to paths among littele signs pointing out the location of the buildings. The rest is completely obliterated, a very sobering experience.

It is extremely worthwhile to tour the many sites located around Verdun to gain some first hand exposure to what took place here during WWI. To think of the millions of shells that were released here and the awful destruction that occurred will give you pause. This is a site that is well worth spending a day here to see the sights and learn as much as you can of the history here.

A must go place when visiting the Verdun battlefields. In front of the ossuary are the remains of at least 16.000 known French soldiers. Inside there are some 130.000 unknown soldiers from both sides who died during the 300 day battle. A very somber and sobering place.

This modern museum really touches you with displays about the battle, the soldiers, the stories and the technology. Over four years, the muntions evolved so quickly. You can see tanks and other vehicles. They even have some 'rough' ground to walk on. The top floor is reserved for special exhibitions -- right now they are on POW camps. If I could suggest one thing -- they need some arrows to show you how to get around. The gift shop has a limited supply of English language material. They have a small cafe.

As the keystone of Verdun’s defensive system, Fort Douaumont was the scene of fierce fighting and dramatic events during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. After falling into German hands in the early days of the Battle, it was constantly shelled by the French army that recaptured the fort on October 24th of the same year.

It's all been said before for sure, I just want to say that on a personal level, this place moved me deeply. As you travel through the tunnels and read the numbers that represent human lives lost, you go kind of numb. A century on, it left me chilled and a little afraid for the future. Very, very, very well worth a visit. Take your kids!
