Verdun - France

Tuesday, 15th August, 2023

Yes we’ve crossed into France, new road rules, language, customs, etc.  Lots to see.

Citadelle Souterrone Verdun is an old fortress that they built lots of tunnel underground.  In WW1 the French could house thousands of soldiers and ordnances in the tunnels. They’ve built a small gauge rail system and they have a system where 4 people get in a little rail carriage. Each person has a helmet that delivers a virtual reality experience, like you’re actually there. No photos or video was allowed, but it was very good.

The town of Verdun is small but it still has a large cathedral, the best part though is the walk along the river.  The weather was 32 degrees with 98% humidity……hot!

Verdun is very proud of its WW1 and WW2 history and there are many monuments throughout the town.

I thought we’d try the single video again.
