Fort Immerhof is a fort of the Maginot Line built from 1930 to 1935. Its purpose was to protect the road and the railroad between Luxembourg and Thionville. The outside is cleaned of the brushwood; the blocks and the barbed wires can be seen. The interior can be visited : combat blocks, mortar turret, quarters, power plant,..... A park place and a reception with toilets are available. The exterior can be accessed all year long. Access : motorway A31, exit 44, follow "Hettange-Grande, Volmerange-les-Mines, Kanfen".
Really enjoyed visiting this fort, we were taken round by an English speaking guide and a local Frenchman fully dressed in authentic French army uniform from WW2, who gave us an extremely and detailed history of the fort, so a very interesting visit.

Private museum “Meuse-Argonne 1918” shows the German occupation 1914-1918. The main interest however is the american attack, at which almost 1 million “Doughboys” were involved (Meuse-Argonne offensive). The collection shows 150m2 of found relics, dioramas, uniforms and weapons, up until personal items and their stories. At “Meuse-Argonne 1918” history lives. A visit is definately worth your while. Maarten is an amateur historian, battlefield guide and author of several books on the Meuse-Argonne campaign. We offer tours in the morning of about 2,5 hours in Nantillois and its direct environment but also at Montfaucon d'Argonne with Maarten as your battlefield guide. He informs you about the historic value of the area and battles of Montfaucon and Nantillois by visiting the many remains that are still visible today after 100 years. Who ever keeps an open eye will see history everywhere. We also offer battlefield tours, f.e. the battlefields of Verdun and Meuse-Argonne offensive.

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.

This vast underground fort is well worth visiting, do make sure the guide can speak your language to make the experience so much fuller.Really enjoyed the exploring the underground galleries and riding on the narrow gauge train. The museum is a must , as it has some interesting exhibits , including some complete cupolas showing how these worked

I visited the Citadel in Verdun for the first time; all Covid measures in place and everything was very well done in that manner. The lady operating the welcome desk was very lovely, managed to find our reservation, etc and we were shown where to wait for the wagonnet. It’s a very interesting ride; taking one through difference scenarios and stories throughout the citadel (a captain, a group of higher ranking officers, the bakers, etc). The most exciting bit was the trench experience towards the end; you ride through a trench system with a moving screen showing a trench re-enactment. When the wagonnet tour ends after about 25 minutes, you’re prompted to walk through to the small exhibition about the French Unknown Warrior. Very humbling and sad story. Excellent overall ; only downside was no postcards or real ephemera for the museum itself!
