Hitting the tourist info we took in directions to the towns amazing underground citadel. Started in the late 1800`s and over 7 kms in total length, the citadel is a mass of large caverns and passageways that served as a logistics supply warehouse and a hospital during the battle of Verdun

Once finished it was back to the tourist info to pick up our shuttle bus to the battle field area about 5 kms from the outskirt of Verdun
As a background note Verdun became synonymous with heroism and resistance with some of the fiercest fighting during WW1 over the 8 month long battle. The opening German salvo as an example threw two million artillery shells at the French lines in just over 9 hours. The aim of the campaign was not to win territory but to bleed the other opponent dry (250,000 lives lost)
As a consequence the landscape around this area is unlikely to recover for hundreds of years and today is pock filled with craters, water and as we found out damned mosquitoes.
Our take was the Verdun Museum, Fort Duamont the supposedly impregnable French fort and the amazingly designed Oussary now home to the remains of 130,000 soldiers from the battlefields - hard to put into perspective especially when most fighting was for yards and non descript terrain.
With our sombre historical lesson completed and aching bones recovering its time to move on as we head towards the German border tomorrow.
