Mouzon

Highlight • Settlement

This charming little town has a significant historical and industrial heritage. It is nestled between the Meuse and the eponymous canal. Don't miss its beautiful Notre-Dame abbey church either.

Abbatiale Notre-Dame de Mouzon

Highlight • Historical Site

The Notre-Dame de Mouzon Abbey is the historic church of Mouzon Abbey. The two buildings are located close to each other. Like many churches in France, it is the relics (in this case, those of Saint Victor and Saint Amoul) that explain the church's subsequent economic growth and dynamism. Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, the abbey church is ahead of its time, as it shows the beginnings of the Gothic style of the immense cathedrals of northern France.

Pershing Bridge of Dun-sur-Meuse

Highlight • Bridge

Dun-sur-Meuse is a French commune located in the department of Meuse, in the Lorraine region.

The upper town was largely destroyed during the First World War.

This bridge over the Meuse is one of the most beautiful monuments of this type in France. There are bronze balustrades on both sides of the bridge, with designs in the center and inscribed plaques.

It reminds French citizens and others, who will cross the bridge for years to come, of the passage of the Meuse.

The crossing of the Meuse by the 5th Division was commanded by General John Pershing.

It was one of the most brilliant military exploits of the American army on French territory.

The Meuse at Verdun

Highlight • River

The Meuse at Verdun plays a crucial role in both the landscape and the history of the region. Cutting deeply through the hilly terrain, it has provided a natural defensive advantage—something that became painfully clear during the Battle of Verdun in 1916, one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War. In addition to its strategic importance, the Meuse also has a more peaceful face: it flows peacefully along the banks of the city of Verdun, connecting the past with the present in a landscape that breathes history.

Monument to the Dead and the Children of Verdun

Highlight • Other

The monument is located on the east bank of the Meuse, in front of Japiot Park, next to Porte Chaussée. Built in 1928, it stands on the site of the military butchery destroyed in 1916. The monument is composed of five figures representing the five corps of the army engaged during the battle of 1916: a horseman, an engineer, a territorial , an infantryman and an artilleryman.

Verdun Memorials and Monuments

Highlight • Historical Site

Verdun, in Lorraine, in the middle of the Maasvlakte, is marked by a heavy historical past, closely linked to the First World War. Battlefield of a terrible battle in 1916, which cost more than 300,000 lives in 10 months, the city commemorates this painful past with a permanent tribute to the soldiers killed at the front.
