Guided tour from la Chartreuse to Robermont’s cemetery: a deeply moving tribute to Liège’s Resistance fighters.
Interallied Memorial: this world-unique monument was built in tribute to the millions of men and women killed in action.
Visit to the Fort de Loncin: now a military cemetery, it was destroyed by ”Big Bertha” on 15 August 1914, crushing 350 of its defenders in the rubble.
Les Territoires de la Mémoire / ”Never again” exhibition: journey through the Nazi camps to counter intolerance today.
Baugnez 44 Museum: this museum tells the story of the notorious Baugnez / Malmedy massacre, where 84 American prisoners were killed by Lieutenant-Colonel Peiper’s troops on 17 December 1944.
Visit to Malmedy: mistakenly bombed three times by the Americans, this small town suffered heavy losses to its population but also to the GIs stationed there.
Visit to the 83rd Thunderbolt Division: life-size diorama of the village of Bihain’s liberation with an exclusive showcase of Tony Vaccaro’s photos.
101st Airborne Division Museum: located in a former Belgian army officers’ mess, this museum presents the history of the 101st Airborne Division and units involved in the Siege of Bastogne in December 1944–January 1945.
Bastogne War Museum + mock trial: explore the complexity of human reactions in extreme situations and take part in a recreated trial.
Visit to the town of Clervaux: a walking tour filled with history and anecdotes will take you right back to the time.
Family of Man exhibition: following a world tour, the final full exhibition of Edward Steichen’s collection, featuring 503 photographs by 273 contributors from 68 countries, is on permanent display at Château de Clervaux.
National Military History Museum, Diekirch: delve deep into the Battle of the Bulge, including a collection of personal anecdotes.
Latour Museum: the tragic history of Latour and surrounding battlefields.
Camp Marguerre + Dusey Canon: a concrete barrack, it was used to test the material’s strength. The canon will give you an idea of that long-range weapon’s power.
Visit to the sugared almond factory in Verdun: how did this sweet treat become the symbol of celebration? To find out, we visit Verdun, home of the sugared almond.
Eparges Ridge: a fascinating site whose bomb craters illustrate the intensity of the fighting, the scars of mine warfare.
Montsec Hill American Memorial: standing atop a hill used as a German observation post, it commemorates the First U.S. Army’s 1918 offensive. Inaugurated in 1932, Douaumont Ossuary, a symbol of Franco-German reconciliation, contains the remains of 130,000 soldiers.
Verdun’s underground citadel: aboard an audio-guided shuttle, find out more about the daily life of French soldiers during the Great War.
