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.
Allow 45min - 1h for the visit.
Temperatures inside the fort are low, so bring warm clothing and appropriate footwear.
Ticket sales close 40 minutes before site closing time.
