Across France, you'll find places dedicated to World War I that tell the story of what happened between 1914 and 1918. These are not just buildings or collections—they are where the war actually took place. You can visit monuments that stand on former battlefields, walk through military cemeteries with thousands of graves, explore old forts that once defended towns, and descend into underground quarries where soldiers took shelter. Museums and information centers help you understand the major battles, including Verdun and the Somme, two of the deadliest confrontations of the war. Through objects, photographs, letters, and documents on display, you learn about the soldiers who fought there—French troops, Germans, British, Americans, and others who came from many countries. These sites preserve what remains from the battles themselves: the trenches, the fortifications, and the personal belongings left behind. Together, they create a portrait of what soldiers and civilians experienced during those four years of fighting.
