10 Best Places To Visit In France - Travel Guide
France, officially the French Republic (French: République française) is a country located primarily in Western Europe. It also includes overseas regions and territories in the Americas and the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans,[XII] giving it one of the largest discontiguous exclusive economic zones in the world. Its metropolitan area extends from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean and from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea; overseas territories include French Guiana in South America, Saint Pierre and Miquelon in the North Atlantic, the French West Indies, and many islands in Oceania and the Indian Ocean. Its eighteen integral regions (five of which are overseas) span a combined area of 643,801 km2 (248,573 sq mi) and had a total population of over 68 million as of January 2023.
France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre; other major urban areas include Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, Lille, Bordeaux, and Nice.
Inhabited since the Palaeolithic era, the territory of Metropolitan France was settled by Celtic tribes known as Gauls during the Iron Age. Rome annexed the area in 51 BC, leading to a distinct Gallo-Roman culture that laid the foundation of the French language. The Germanic Franks formed the Kingdom of Francia, which became the heartland of the Carolingian Empire. The Treaty of Verdun of 843 partitioned the empire, with West Francia becoming the Kingdom of France in 987. In the High Middle Ages, France was a powerful but highly decentralised feudal kingdom. Philip II successfully strengthened royal power and defeated his rivals to double the size of the crown lands; by the end of his reign, France had emerged as the most powerful state in Europe. From the mid-14th to the mid-15th century, France was plunged into a series of dynastic conflicts involving England, collectively known as the Hundred Years' War, and a distinct French identity emerged as a result. The French Renaissance saw art and culture flourish, conflict with the House of Habsburg, and the establishment of a global colonial empire, which by the 20th century would become the second-largest in the world. The second half of the 16th century was dominated by religious civil wars between Catholics and Huguenots that severely weakened the country. France again emerged as Europe's dominant power in the 17th century under Louis XIV following the Thirty Years' War. Inadequate economic policies, inequitable taxes and frequent wars (notably a defeat in the Seven Years' War and costly involvement in the American War of Independence) left the kingdom in a precarious economic situation by the end of the 18th century. This precipitated the French Revolution of 1789, which overthrew the Ancien Régime and produced the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which expresses the nation's ideals to this day.

Verdun France Great Place To Visit Super endroit à visiter
We went to Verdun France to see the World War 1 battlefield, but we loved the city of Verdun itself. It has a beautiful waterfront area with lots restaurants and nice hotels. It wasn't too crowded, and the weather was great as well. We loved it.
Nous sommes allés à Verdun en France pour voir le champ de bataille de la Première Guerre mondiale, mais nous avons adoré la ville de Verdun elle-même. Il a une belle zone riveraine avec de nombreux restaurants et de beaux hôtels. Il n'y avait pas trop de monde et le temps était super aussi. Nous l'avons aimé.

A verduni csata az első világháború egyik ütközete volt a nyugati fronton a német és a francia hadsereg között 1916. február 21. és december 18. között Verdun-sur-Meuse közelében, Északkelet-Franciaországban. Az elképesztő emberveszteség – több mint 700 ezer sebesült, eltűnt és halott – miatt a csata a köznyelvben a verduni vérszivattyú néven híresült el.[1]
1915 végére a nyugati fronton patthelyzet alakult ki: a németek beásták magukat, és valamennyi francia vagy brit támadást visszaverték. Erich von Falkenhayn német vezérkari főnök úgy döntött, hogy csatára kényszeríti és kivérezteti a franciákat Verdunnél.[2][3][4][5] A németek 140 ezer embert és több mint 1200 löveget csoportosítottak át a verduni frontvonalra, velük szemben mindössze négy francia hadosztály állt.[6][7]
1916. február 21-én a német tüzérség megkezdte a francia vonalak ágyúzását, majd a gyalogság indult támadásra, és mélyen betört a francia első vonal mögé.[8][9] Az első napokban a franciák mintegy 25 ezer embert veszítettek, de megállították a Meuse-folyó jobb partján indított offenzívát.[10][11][12]
Február 29-én a német vezérkar úgy döntött, kiterjeszti a támadást a Meuse bal partjára is, ahol két magaslatért, a 304-esért és a Mort Homme-ért folytak a leghevesebb harcok.[13][14] Április 1-jéig a franciák 89 ezer, a németek 81 607 embert vesztettek.[15][16]
Áprilisra Falkenhayn levonta a következtetést: csak akkor érhet el komoly eredményt, ha korlátozott támadások helyett egyszerre, nagyobb erőkkel támadja a teljes frontot.[17] Az erőfeszítések sikert hoztak, a bal parton elesett a két fontos magaslat. Április 1. és május 1. között a német veszteség 120 ezerre, a francia 133 ezerre nőtt.[18] Május közepén a franciák elkeseredett ellentámadásokat indítottak a Douaumont-erődért, de súlyos árat fizettek érte.[19] [20]
A nyár újabb nagy német támadásokkal indult, és a császári hadsereg bevetette új fegyverét, a foszgéngránátot. A francia vonalakat a jobb parton áttörték, és június 23-án a verduni csata elérte csúcspontját.[21][22][23] Ezután a németek kénytelenek voltak korlátozni támadó akcióikat, mivel a brit-francia hadsereg támadásba lendült a Somme-folyó mentén.[24]
December 15. reggelén a Douaumont-erőd egyik 155 milliméteres tarackja megadta a jelet a francia támadásra. A tüzérségi zárótüzet követve a gyalogosok három kilométer mélyen behatoltak az első vonal mögé. Visszafoglalták Louvemont-t, Bezonvaux-t és a Bois des Caurières-t, valamint ejtettek 11 ezer hadifoglyot.[25] (A szócikkben gyakran előforduló bois szó erdőt, összefüggő fás területet jelent.) A németek szinte mindenütt visszaszorultak februári állásaikba, és a csata véget ért.[26]
A verduni vérszivattyú helyszíne ma is életveszélyes

Verdun, France

Verdun, France
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Verdun in France is best known for the terrible battle in 1916 but the town itself is really charming!
Norwich Duff , a British naval officer, visited Verdun in 1819, shortly after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. He writes: 'Verdun is prettily situated in a valley surrounded by hills. The River Meuse runs through the town and forms several canals and ditches round the town which is fortified and, I believe, by the great Marshal Vauban. The citadel and surroundings are a good deal out of repair and people were at work on them. Though there is little to see at Verdun, every part of it felt interesting from the number of our countrymen confined here during the war. Verdun is famous for its sweetmeats, sugar plums, confits etc which are said to be the best in France. They made us show our passports here it being a fortified town.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites and give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
In 1997 I founded Polish Business News .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).
My blog can be found via and and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.
I have also a second blog on the site . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.
A Day Trip To The Verdun Battlefield | Euro Trip 2018 Pt8
We take a day trip to the site of the Battle of Verdun, to The Ossuary memorial, the destroyed village of Douaumont, and to Fort Douaumont,
From Wikipedia:
During the 300 days of the Battle of Verdun (21 February 1916 – 19 December 1916) approximately 230,000 men died out of a total of 700,000 casualties (dead, wounded and missing). The battle became known in German as Die Hölle von Verdun (English: The Hell of Verdun), or in French as L'Enfer de Verdun, and was conducted on a battlefield covering less than 20 square kilometers
The ossuary is a memorial containing the remains of both French and German soldiers who died on the Verdun battlefield. Through small outside windows, the skeletal remains of at least 130,000 unidentified combatants of both nations can be seen filling up alcoves at the lower edge of the building.
Douaumont is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France. The village was destroyed during World War I.
Fort Douaumont (French Fort de Douaumont) was the largest and highest fort on the ring of 19 large defensive works which had protected the city of Verdun, France since the 1890s. By 1915, the French General Staff had concluded that even the best-protected forts of Verdun could not resist bombardments from the German 420 mm (16.5 in) Gamma guns. These new super-heavy howitzers had easily taken several large Belgian forts out of action in August 1914. Fort Douaumont and other Verdun forts were judged ineffective and had been partly disarmed and left virtually undefended since 1915. On 25 February 1916, Fort Douaumont was entered and occupied without a fight by a small German raiding party comprising only 19 officers and 79 men. The easy fall of Fort Douaumont, only three days after the beginning of the Battle of Verdun, shocked the French Army. It set the stage for the rest of a battle which lasted nine months, at enormous human cost. Douaumont was finally recaptured by three infantry divisions of the Second Army, during the First Offensive Battle of Verdun on 24 October 1916. This event brought closure to the battle in 1916.

France: Verdun
Verdun (sur Meuse) is a city in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France.
Verdun was the site of a major battle of the First World War.
Its landmarks are:
The Châtel Gate is the only remaining part of the medieval city walls. It leads onto La Roche Square.
The Citadelle which was built in the 17th Century. It is still in military hands but the underlying tunnels can still be visited.
The Notre-Dame de Verdun Cathedral that was consecrated in 1147, but was built on the site of an earlier church. The 12th Century Lion Door on the north side has a lavishly decorated tympanum. The whole building was heavily restored in the 18th Century.
The Episcopal Palace which was built in the 18th Century by Robert de Cotte. Part of the building is occupied by the World Peace Centre.
The Princerie Museum is located in the former residence of the princes of Verdun. It contains historic works of art from the region. Alas the museum was closed on the day that we visited Verdun.

Verdun is the biggest city in Meuse, France. It is well known for giving its name to a major battle of the First World War.

That is why #historical monuments are an indispensable part of our routes throughout #Europe. Anyway, history is not always a cheerful place to travel through, and that's fine. Today, we take you to the Citadel of Verdun - a sophisticated logistic basis in #France, where both hope and despair still linger in the atmosphere.
The Battle of Verdun: long story short
The Citadel of Verdun was an essential spot during the #HistoricalBattle of Verdun - the longest-lasting and most expensive armed conflict during the First World War.
The #battle began on February 21st and kept on raging until December 18th, 1916. It was fought on the Western Front of France between the German and the French armies. The conflict ended up producing around 800,000 casualties on both sides before the attack was finally called off.
During these long and monstrous months, a special place was used to shelter and nourish the local soldiers. This was the underground Citadel of Verdun.
The Citadel of Verdun: all you need to know
The Citadel of Verdun was constructed at the beginning of the 17th century and consisted of solely above-ground elements, including barracks, fortifications, and various military constructions.
From 1886 to 1893, 4km of underground tunnels were dug beneath the Citadel to shelter men and supplies in case of an armed conflict. Until 1914, the Verdun Citadel's underground system reached a total length of 7 kilometers, composed and arranged to serve as a small underground city that could shelter around 2,000 men.
What happened there is probably beyond your imagination. Along with serving as the headquarters of the French army, the underground ecosystem of the Verdun #Citadel also had the following functions:
It provided offices for the army forces and hosted all of its services;
It provided immense dormitories for the French troops to rest and stay safe;
It served as a storage place for powder and ammunition depots for the front;
It produced over 41,000 rations per day to feed the soldiers to feed on;
It hosted various additional activities related to healing, amusement, and moral support of the army.
Put shortly, the Verdun Citadel's #underground #tunnels were a sheltered haven for the ones defending their country and territory at that time. Nowadays, it symbolizes a whole nation's resistance and remains an invaluable place of worship and remembrance.
