National necropolis containing the bodies of over 16,000 soldiers. A site that has become an emblem of Franco-German reconciliation.

In the heart of the battlefield, in front of the Douaumont ossuary, this national necropolis contains more than 16,000 graves, soldiers, identified and unknown, who fell at the front, but also civilians exhumed from surrounding cemeteries. The site became the emblem of Franco-German reconciliation when Helmuth Kohl and François Mitterrand shook hands there in 1984. It houses the remains of 512 Muslim combatants and 6 French soldiers who fell during the Second World War.
