Meuse: what to see and do
18 sites listed in the département. A land of memory of the First World War around Verdun, the Meuse also cultivates a discreet rural heritage of wooded valleys and fortified villages. This Grand Est département combines history and unspoilt nature.

The Meuse describes a great curve here, bordered on its left bank by 400 m of limestone quarry face pierced by about fifteen underground galleries, near the village of Belleray.

Basilique Notre Dame d'Avioth
Château de Commercy
Château de Gombervaux
Château de Thillombois
Château des Monthairons
Château fort d'Hattonchâtel
Citadelle souterraine de Verdun
The Verdun citadel, built around 1624 and not, contrary to what is generally thought, remodelled by Vauban, but by one of his disciples, 50 years later, is a seven-bastion citadel.
Eglise fortifiée de Saint-Pierrevillers
Fort de Vaux
La butte de Montsec
Set on an outlier hill of the Côtes de Meuse that can be seen from afar, this monument is formed of a circular colonnade at the centre of which a copper orientation table reproduces in relief the position of the villages and locates the fighting of the Saint-Mihiel Salient.

Tourists can enjoy an interactive and fun route, including games, soundscapes, projections and reconstructions to understand the brewing world simply.
