View of Verdun

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view over Verdun and the Meuse valley. On the nearby main road it is wonderful to drive downhill, but uphill is only recommended to a limited extent due to the busy traffic.

Monument in memory of André Maginot, a French politician who volunteered for the army in 1914. He was wounded near Verdun, but remained bravely at his post. After the war, as a minister, he committed himself to strengthening the French defense, which eventually led to the construction of the famous Maginot Line.

Fort de Souville

Highlight • Historical Site

Built between 1876 and 1879 as part of the defensive belt around Verdun. The fort played a crucial role during the Battle of Verdun (1916), especially in July when German troops almost took it. Strategically located on a hill, it offered a view of the Meuse valley and was connected to other forts by telephone lines. The fort contained an underground shelter (abri sous roc) and a Bussière tower with a 155 mm gun. Despite heavy shelling, it remained in French hands and became a symbol of steadfastness.

The Lion of Souville

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Lion of Souville Symbol of resistance at the gates of Verdun; This impressive monument, unveiled on 1 October 1922, stands on the site of the former Sainte-Fine chapel and commemorates the fallen of the 130th French Infantry Division. Designed by animal sculptor and veteran René Paris, the statue depicts a dying Bavarian lion – a powerful allegory for the defeat of the German troops and the heroic French defence during the Battle of Verdun.
On 23 June 1916, the German attacks reached their peak at Fort de Souville, the last obstacle to the fall of Verdun. Thanks to the courage of a small French garrison led by Lieutenant Dupuy, the fort remained in French hands. The lion marks the extreme point of the German advance – the “last gate” to Verdun remained closed.

Casemate Pamart n°2

Highlight • Other

This concrete mg casemate of the "Pamart" type was built in 1917 to reinforce Fort de Souville. In 1916, Captain Pamart came up with the design of a machine gun position that was easy to build. Characteristic of the metal armour part is the shape that resembles the snout of an elephant. The Pamart casemate is armed with two machine guns and has one or two loopholes. They are designed to increase the firepower of a fort. The whole is connected underground to a fort. A total of 34 copies were installed. The remaining copies were used in the Maginot Line.

Tunnel Battery

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1881 above the Tunnel de Tavannes to reinforce the inner defensive belt of Verdun. The battery had three firing platforms and a traverse shelter, and was originally armed with two 220 mm mortars and one 22 cm smoothbore mortar. In 1900 it was disarmed and reused during the Battle of Verdun (1916) as an ammunition depot and shelter for troops. The traverse shelter is the best preserved element visible today.
