There is nothing more sacred in France than the battlefields of Verdun, one of the longest and bloodiest battle in history. For more than ten month the French and the German troops struggled around Verdun. Driving through the « Zone Rouge » (Red Zone), an area where nothing could be built or grown after the war because of the amount of shells and bombs still there, you will discover the silent witnesses of the battle: from the forts, the trenches, memorials to the Douaumont ossuary. We won’t miss a visit to the Verdun Memorial Museum, which has been completely renewed recently to offer an excellent understanding of this tragedy.
