Fort de Vaux

In 1916, the fort of Vaux was bombarded by nearly 8,000 shells per day. Its garrison resisted and fought heroically before having to surrender due to the exhaustion of its armed forces. It then became the symbol of the resistance of the soldier of Verdun. A visit to the fort of Vaux allows you to feel the unspeakable intensity of the fighting during the battle of Verdun.
