Linge Memorial, War memorial and museum in Orbey, France
The memorial features preserved military trenches, defense structures, and exhibition halls displaying artifacts recovered from the World War I battlefield.
Between July and October 1915, the Linge mountain area witnessed intense combat that resulted in 17,000 French and German casualties.
The memorial serves as an educational center where visitors learn about soldiers' daily lives through recovered personal items, weapons, and photographs.
The site remains open from April to November, with guided tours available for groups and accessibility features including an elevator for visitors.
German fortifications stand meters away from French earthen trenches at 1000 meters altitude, presenting direct evidence of military engineering differences.
