The Linge is one of the most important places of the battle of the Hautes-Vosges during the First World War.
Nearly 20,000 French and German soldiers were killed, wounded or missing. The well-preserved German defense system can still be seen today on the easily accessible battlefield.
The museum presents a collection of objects found on the battlefield and offers you an immersion in the life of the soldier at that time and in that place.
A 20-minutes video will show you the historical context of the battle of the Linge in 1915.
You can take advantage of this opportunity to enhance your visit with a walk in the mountains and, why not, a stop at a farm inn.
This is one of those places that leaves you changed, with a deeper understanding of history. Explore the trenches and imagine the cold, the long waits and the fear experienced by the soldiers. Inside the museum, authentic letters, artefacts and personal accounts immerse us in their daily lives, hopes and emotions.
