Overview

  • This tour is distinguished by a deeply historical, accessible and immersive approach. Here, no sensationalism or simplified narrative: the aim is to understand Verdun. Through landscapes, forts, trenches and original positions, I place each place in the military, human and strategic context of 1916. The tour draws on historical sources, testimonies and an accurate reading of the terrain to explain how and why this battle has become a global symbol. The tour is designed as a true immersion in history, suitable for both enthusiasts and visitors discovering Verdun for the first time.
