MONUMENT À LA VICTOIRE ET AUX SOLDATS DE VERDUN

Built in the city centre, this monument was inaugurated in 1929. The 73 steps of the staircase lead to a crypt that houses the registers of the names of the soldiers holding the Verdun Medal. At the top of the 30-metre high tower stands a warrior, leaning on his sword and looking east. This monument offers a breathtaking view of the city
Under the warrior's feet, a crypt is accessible to all to look for a soldier or simply to meditate (from April to November).
A ceremony is held every year on November 1st at the Victory Monument to welcome the Sacred Flame that burns under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This ceremony is part of the commemorations of the Armistice and the Choice of the Unknown Soldier. The Unknown Soldier was chosen in Verdun on 10 November 1920 in the underground citadel.
