I highly recommend my tour guide for Verdun, Cecil Graf. He is very knowledgable, kind and as a bonus has a great sense of humor. I did not film every moment of the tour, there was much much more information from Cecil. Contact Cecil at: cecil_graf@yahoo.fr
I created my channel to share my adventures with family and friends and to relive great memories
