Verdun forts report and photo site...
Permalink   

If any of you are interested we have carried out several explorations of many of the Verdun Great war forts built after the Franco Prussian war and which were used in the Great War. The site is liberally covered with  photographs taken inside the forts and is still a work under way so new forts are often added.

I hope it may prove of interest to some of you.

 

Best wishes... smile

Very interesting. Brings back memories of almost falling into a shaft near the entrance of Fort de Souville. Huge mosquitoes there, too.
We're off to Verdun in November this year: looking forward to it.
Cheers.

Souville is a wierd one and the fact that the forts are in the woods means the mozzies are a right pain. We lather ourselves in DeeT first. Watch out for tics though. My wife got four when we were over two years ago and one left it's head in her back when I tried to get it out. There's a huge risk of tic born encephelitus in that area too.
