Activity itinerary

Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery

  • 1h
Discover the Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery in Romagna-sous-Montfaucon, the largest American military cemetery in Europe. More than 14,000 American soldiers were laid to rest there, mostly killed during the 1918 Meuse-Argonne offensive. An impressive and essential place to understand the United States commitment during World War I.

Butte de Vauquois

  • 1h
Discover the Butte de Vauquois, one of the most spectacular sites of the First World War in Argonne. French and Germans fought there for several years in a particularly intense mine war. Craters, trenches and galleries still bear witness to the violence of the fighting and the radical transformation of the landscape.

Foret Domaniale de Haute Chevauchee

  • 1h
Discover the Upper Ride and the shelter of the Kronprinz, in the heart of Argonne. Trenches, mine craters and military remains testify to the intensity of the fighting between French and Germans. The shelter of the Kronprinz also allows a better understanding of the organisation of the German front and the living conditions in this strategic sector of the First World War.

Fort Douaumont

  • 1h
Discover the fort of Douaumont, one of the most emblematic sites of the Battle of Verdun. It was captured by the Germans in February 1916 and recaptured by the French in October, and became one of the symbols of the fierce fighting that marked Verdun. The visit allows us to understand the strategic role of the fort, its organisation and the living conditions of the soldiers who occupied it.

L'Ossuaire de Douaumont

  • 1h
Discover the Ossuary of Douaumont, high place of memory of the Battle of Verdun. It houses the remains of more than 130,000 unidentified French and German soldiers. Facing the immense national necropolis, this monument recalls the magnitude of the losses of 1916 and offers an essential moment of memory and reflection.
