WORLD WAR I, TRENCHES AND BATTLEFIELDS

The secrets of History, stories of secrets

An episode from the series MYSTERIOUS FRANCE

Synopsis

World War I left an indelible mark on the French landscape. Traces of this devastating war remain from the hills of Champagne to the plains of Verdun.

We revisit emblematic sites where decisive moments of the conflict were played out, from the Château de Sedan, a witness to civilian suffering under occupation, to the Fort of Douaumont, whose fall changed the course of the Battle of Verdun.
