Fort de Vaux

IMPORTANT: The Fort de Vaux is closed for renovation in order to improve the comfort of your visit. The Verdun Memorial and Douaumont Fort continue to welcome you every day.

Fort Séré de Rivière symbolizes the heroism of French soldiers during the 1916 battle. Commandant Raynal and his men, besieged for 7 days, fought relentlessly under a hail of shells. They were finally overcome by thirst. Discover: the command post, the infirmary, the telecommunication post, the dovecote, the Bourges casemate with its two 75 mm cannons?
A visit to the fort provides an insight into the day-to-day living conditions of the besieged fighters at the heart of the fortress, actors in a heroic drama that has become a symbol of the resistance of the Verdun soldier.
