Would you like to visit the Verdun battlefield, but don't know where to start? Let us guide you on the battlefield bus tour, which will take you to the remains of the Great War.
For 4 hours, aboard a coach, the tourist office offers you a guided tour through the "Red Zone". Punctuated by stops at key 14-18 sites, this "turnkey" tour is a great way to discover and understand the 1916 Battle of Verdun.
The guided tour begins at Fort de Douaumont, the most powerful fortification in the Verdun stronghold. Then on to the Ossuaire de Douaumont, a memorial dedicated to the victims of the First World War in Verdun in 1916. The tour continues at the Douaumont National Necropolis, home to 15,000 graves of soldiers who died for France.
Finally, you'll stop off at the destroyed village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont. Taken and retaken 16 times in 2 months by French and German soldiers, it is one of the 9 villages completely devastated in the Verdun Red Zone.
