Entrance to Verdun across the street from the tourist bureau.
Our first stop after the tourist bureau was the Citadel. Verdun in the east of France has been on the front line of conflicts throughout the centuries. The Citadel began construction in the 1687. It along with a series of locks that could flood the fields around the town helped protect the town from invasion. It was also used during World War 1 as a command center and shelter from the German invasion.
