Overview

Start the day with a stop at the ossuary “La ferme de Navarin”, monument inaugurated by General Gouraud in 1924, in memory of French soldiers who died during the Great war. Your guide will then drive you to the Meuse region, in the heart of the forest where the “Kronprinz” shelter is located, one of the German soldiers camp.
Explore the famous hillock of Vauquois, full of galleries, where 14,000 soldiers lost their lives along a tiny portion of the Western front.
Be driven to the historic site of Varennes-en-Argonne, at the Pennsylvania American war memorial and admire the magnificent panorama of the valley of the Aire. Hear a fascinating aside about the king Louis XVI who got arrested there in 1791.
Discover the most well-known American cemetery of the World War I in Romagne sous Montfaucon.
Come across the impressive ossuary in Douaumont, where unidentified French and German soldiers rest.
End this trip with a visit of the “Fort de Douaumont”, iconic fortress of the Verdun battle.
