Verdun-sur-Meuse Things to Do Tips by F_Meignant

The "Citadelle souterraine" (underground citadel)

Interresting "trip" with a small "train" in the undergrounds of the city.
Here was the French Headquarter during the battle of Verdun (1916), but also quarters for the troups going to the front line, a military hospital and a refuge for Verdun's inhabitants during bombings.
In 1920, the "Soldat Inconnu" ("Unknown Soldier") who is burried under Paris' "Arc de Triomphe" was chosen here.
