Caverne du dragon - Le Musée du Chemin des Dames
County Council of the Aisne

Content visit

Here you are in the depths of the Caverne du Dragon, 15 meters below ground where the room temperature is 12°C (about 53° F), for 90 minutes of emotion. With its amazing and powerful scenography, this unique setting, called Drachenhöhle by the Germans, plunges you into the shadowy underground galleries of the First World War. The limestone hallways open onto spaces steeped in the memories of a cavern once used as a military barracks. Everywhere the light falls on the floor or the walls, the scars of the past are revealed. At each step, the memories of WWI are stirred up. You have just begun to explore the depths of the Caverne du Dragon.
