Jardins du centre mondial de la paix

In the heart of Verdun, the gardens of the Centre Mondial de la Paix are a unique place where history, art and nature meet. This formal garden, originally designed by Robert de Cotte in 1725, was carefully recreated around 1930, retaining its classical elegance with symmetrical paths, pruned boxwood and harmoniously arranged beds. To access the garden, a small stone bridge crosses the moat, inviting visitors to enter a space that is both peaceful and symbolic.

The itinerary is entirely free and open to the public, and offers an opportunity to discover a section of the Berlin Wall and its history, reminding us of the importance of peace and human rights. While exploring the garden, visitors also enjoy an exceptional view over Verdun, offering an ideal panorama from which to admire the city and its historic monuments. Whether for strolling, reflecting or marvelling at the garden?s classical beauty, this visit combines remembrance, education and relaxation, making it a must-see during a stay in Verdun.
