The 1914-18 Vosges front: Hartmannswillerkopf (Vieil Armand), Le Linge, trenches and cemeteries — deeply moving memorial sites.
Moderate
A front line between 1914 and 1918, the Vosges ridges still bear the scars of fierce fighting. Hartmannswillerkopf (Vieil Armand), a national monument, and the Le Linge battlefield show trenches, concrete shelters, cemeteries and museums. These memorial sites, often in the wild, make a moving and educational visit for all ages.
