A must go place when visiting the Verdun battlefields. In front of the ossuary are the remains of at least 16.000 known French soldiers. Inside there are some 130.000 unknown soldiers from both sides who died during the 300 day battle. A very somber and sobering place.

As the keystone of Verdun’s defensive system, Fort Douaumont was the scene of fierce fighting and dramatic events during the Battle of Verdun, 1916. After falling into German hands in the early days of the Battle, it was constantly shelled by the French army that recaptured the fort on October 24th of the same year.

It's all been said before for sure, I just want to say that on a personal level, this place moved me deeply. As you travel through the tunnels and read the numbers that represent human lives lost, you go kind of numb. A century on, it left me chilled and a little afraid for the future. Very, very, very well worth a visit. Take your kids!

We went to the Douamont Ossuary, one of the most powerful monuments we've ever visited. When a friend saw our photos, she asked if we'd been here and upon reading about it, we went back just to see it. Hard to find and completely worth it. Some 9 villages we're completely destroyed in the battle of Verdun. Fleury changed hands 16 times and was set aside as a memorial. It is both terrible and beautiful. Children died here, along with farmers, weavers, tinsmiths, shopkeepers, teachers and soldiers. Visiting honors their sacrifice.

This is a memorial paid for by the people of Pennsylvania to the men that participated in the Meuse Argonne battle that ended WWI. It is impressive in a little town that was all but destroyed in the war.
