We could not have asked for a better guide! My only suggestion is that to get the most out of a WW1 tour, read extensively before you go. He also was featured in some short tour clips on CSPAN III during the WW1 Centennial in November 2018 and in an episode of "Travels with Darley" on PBS (Western Front). I very enthusiastically recommend a tour with Guillaume he is extremely knowledgeable about the Great War, knows the area well (he is from a town near Verdun), has a very nice personality, and speaks excellent English. York memorial and trail and the area near Binarville where the Lost Battalion was encircled. We traced the path of the V Corps from 26 September 1918 until late October 1918, Guillaume also took us to Varennes to see the Pennsylvania Monument, and to Chatel Chehery to see the Sgt. In addition to visiting key sites of the battle of Verdun, Guillaume designed the tour for us based on my grandfather's service in WW1 in a regiment assigned to the V Corps. We also visited the Ossuary at Douaumont, climbed the 234 steps to the top of the American Monument at Montfaucon, and spent time at the American Cemetery at Romagne sous Montfaucon (the largest American Cemetery in Europe). In going over all of my photos, I estimated that we made a total of about 30 stops over the two days, walking through the crater-filled woods, around a destroyed village (Beaumont), in trenches, bunkers, pill boxes, forts, mine craters, and - the most amazing part - 50 meters underground in the German tunnels under Vaquois Hill. Aunque algunos fuertes fueron sometidos a fuego de la artillera Dicke Bertha, las fortificaciones no se vieron.
En 1914, durante la invasin alemana de Francia, se cre un saliente alrededor de Verdn a raz de la primera batalla del Marne y la captura de Saint-Mihiel. We hired Guillaume Moizan for a two-day tour of the Verdun and Meuse-Argonne Battlefields in May 2019. 21 de febrero, 1200 caones alemanes dispararon al frente francs.
