	Verdun and the WW I Battlefields

		Just past the crossroads I stopped at the «Mémorial de Fleury», now a museum dedicated to those battles and the subsequent reconstruction.
		There were a number of ways to go from here, but I continued along the same road which turned past the «Ossuaire de Douaumont».
