Abaucourt

Go through Abaucourt (razed to the ground) to Fiévèterie Farm (in ruins), which lies at the foot of the Meuse Heights (photo, p. [144]). A road starts on the left of the farm and leads to the small ruined village of Eix, which was the scene of fierce fighting throughout the war.

The road up the Meuse Heights is fairly steep and passes between the Forts of Souville and Tavannes (on the right) and Moulainville Fort (on the left). It then descends in a gentle slope to Verdun, which is entered by the Faubourg Pavé and Chaussée Gate.
