Verdun, Military heritage site in Grand Est, France
The city stands on both banks of the Meuse River, surrounded by fortified structures and historical military installations that define its landscape.
The Treaty of Verdun signed in 843 divided Charlemagne's empire among his three grandsons, marking the foundation of modern European nations.
The Cathedral of Verdun represents architectural evolution through centuries, combining Romanesque and Gothic elements in its stone construction.
Visitors access the city through the A4 motorway connecting Paris to Strasbourg, with regular train services from Metz and Nancy stations.
The Douaumont Ossuary contains the remains of 130,000 unidentified French and German soldiers who perished during World War I battles.
