Unbelievable preserved WW1 trenches in France!

The Massiges trenches France are incredible!

[michaelmurphy]

Truly amazing. I can only imagine the men, chaos of the battle, shells exploding everywhere. Bullets zipping by. If those trenches could talk, the stories it could tell.

I did not know there were “The Great War”
trenches this well preserved. I knew of many mounds left, but not this. Thank you for this up close look!

One could only imagine how haunted those trenches are

Visited these trenches last week. Amazing place, one of the highlights of my trip

They are probably revamped every now and then. The sun and rain wont let anything last this long without maintenance

The metallic pieces are not from the early 1900s.
No way. The trench might have been there, that metal was probably put there in the 1980s as a mock up to get more tourists.

We are planning a trip to France, can you give more specifics on how to find this?

[Bastr]

It is a tourist attraction to Show how it was and not original.still an interesting place to visit

Wow. Just imagine them with knee deep water, leeches, trenchfoot, malnutrition, rainy, cold, machine-gun bullets whizzing overhead, poison gas attacks, close-quarter fighting, infections, sickness, and artillery shells landing among the inhabitants of the trenches. Sheer horror. The trenches ran some 500 miles from the North Sea to Switzerland. The area between the Allied trenches and the German trenches was "no-man's land", which was aptly named. The remnants of many of them are still visible. This one near Verdun is remarkably well preserved and intact.

Thank you for sharing that. I was kind of looking for something like that where I could see what the trenches look like today.

I've seen so many trenches in movies, games, art, etc. but seeing you walk around in them just gives me another perspective I've never really seen. The depth, length, shape, the textures. I can only imagine the horror it must've felt like to see another man jump down into one ontop of you or to be walking to your knees in mud, in these cramped spaces.
I really hope to be able to visit them myself one day. Hallowing stuff.

[Tomofdahook]

Just found this video. This is absolutely incredible. One day I’ll walk through.

[Isdanoob]

Wow, didnt know these were that well preserved. If i ever go the france this is a certain must do.

[Yuladbadmosh]

I would recommend ww1 movie-all quiet on Western front " bcoz it was best ww movie and it shows the real horror of ww1

[-PlanePerson-]

I’m obsessed with the WW1 trenches, I’m glad I’m able to see what the trenches were like in color instead of just engravings in the ground with a couple pieces of wood and metal sticking out

[philippmuller-litz]

look out for Sabaton performing Fields of Verdun!

[johnhartley]

Look remarkably close to the trenches used in the movie alls quiet on the western front

[HoboTango]

Horrific months surely, but soldiers would frequently rotate, meaning you would probably spend a few days in there at a time.

You just had to hope the day you were in it wouldn’t be the one they attacked.

Europe is once again fighting a trench warfare in Ukraine.
