Great museum--very informatIve, very moving.. Drawings and cartoons portion was especially interesting. Everyone in Verdun seemed so cheery and nice. Seemed very French-centric, understandably, nonetheless a great exhibit---but really smelly bathrooms. Go before you visit..!

It's very tough to define what the "Verdun Battlefield" really is since the area is peppered with monuments, relics, forts, and remnants of the 10 month siege. Much of the "battlefield" is now overgrown with trees and brush, but you can envision the carnage of the once barren fields by seeing the pot marked topography that is nearly everywhere you... More

Visiting Verdun was surprising. A well kept city with a lot of memories of the Great War. The monument are impressive, great museums (especially the museum of peace). The café's and restaurants along the river Meuse are relaxing and you can enjoy good food. It's is no problem to spend 3 days in this city and its surroudings.

Very good museum that provides an intimate look at life in the trenches via personal items of the soldiers on both sides of the war.
