Trench of Bayonets (Tranchée des Baïonnettes) is a grim reminder of the repercussions of war. Verdun was a major battle site in the First World War as the Germans wanted to capture Fort Douaumont. The Trench of Bayonets refers to a trench where a group of French soldiers reportedly met their fate during an intense shelling in 1916. The soldiers were buried in the trench, and the bayonets of their rifles were left sticking out of the ground as a solemn memorial. The site captures the sense of immediacy and tragedy of war, and the preserved bayonets evoke a powerful and emotional response from visitors.
