This weekend the LC kids from Nancy and Strasbourg went to Verdun. It was one of the biggest battle sites of WWI, and thus incredibly depressing. (The battle had an incredibly high death toll [nearly a quarter of a million deaths] before the French eventually lost to the Germans).
This is the inside of the fortress. Could you imagine living here for all those months?
