Explore a place steeped in history and discover the depths of the Verdun Citadel. Built over 300 years ago, this emblematic fortress presents a little-known facet, with the Cornichon powder magazine, an impressive vestige of the 19th century, and part of the underground galleries dug as early as 1890. A unique journey into Verdun’s military past!
During your visit, you’ll discover the fascinating history of the site, before accessing an exceptional space: a mushroom farm installed at the very heart of the galleries. This unusual setting combines heritage and local know-how, offering a fresh perspective on the modern use of these historic sites.
To complete this immersive experience, take advantage of a counter where you can taste products from this underground operation. A unique opportunity to combine cultural discovery and gourmet pleasures!
