Les Amoureux de Verdun
Les Amoureux de Verdun takes you back to the First World War. You walk through a real trench in the winter of 1916. The show was named the best show in the world in 2015.
The story
It is Christmas Eve 1916. Smoke fills the tunnels, the ground shakes with every explosion and the sirens wail. You follow the story of soldier Louis and his worried fiancée Thérèse, through the love letters they write to each other. The soldiers do not yet know that they will experience a Christmas they will never forget.
The experience
You walk at your own pace through a set of more than 1,800 m², right among the actors. You see the soldiers queuing for soup and waiting for post from home. The communications post and the first-aid post are busy. Between the tracks of a tank and the propeller of a crashed aircraft, you reach the heart of the story: a Christmas truce.
