Verdun is the "Capitale mondiale de la Paix"... Hope is still alive!
Verdun it is, before all, the so-called "Great War" (1914-1918). The picture shows a memorial which is in the city center. Because of its shape, people here call it "Goldorak"...!
It's always easy for the great decision makers to deliver heroic words... and build memorials afterwards...
It's always painful for the soldier, whatever his nationality, to have his name on a "Monument aux Morts"...

Your sharing the tales of these battles added so much to my understanding while visiting the sites. Thank you.
Stunning pages, Francois. Your words and pictures are both heartfelt and thought-provoking. Thank you.
Your travellogues are grand views of events that took place on this hard ground not so many years ago. The scars remain as you vividly point out.
Such a moving and personal page -- full of great advice -- and never forgetting FOOD!
hadn't you said you would have come to italy to get your fridge bag back??? ;-)
This moving page remembers me of the many historical stories my parents and my grandfather told me about this war. Thanks for it.
one of the best page in VT!!!
Thank for so much for this amazing, moving, personal page.
Very interesting page!
