Verdun. Heart of the Meuse and the World Capital of Peace. The meanders of the river quiet lull that country where the emotion comes from the rich history of a city which, by treaty and battle, has finally chosen the path of Memory and Peace.
This city is very surprising and pleasant. The Wharf in London is sympathetic with the river Meuse where cross many barges and pleasure craft.
