Opening times, admission and getting here
Fort Vaux will be closed for renovations from 15 July 2025
Fort Vaux will temporarily close its doors to the public from Tuesday, 15 July 2025. This is necessary in order to undertake major renovation work on the visitor trail.
These improvements will better showcase the site's exceptional history and provide visitors with a more comfortable and enriching experience.
In the meantime, the Verdun Memorial and Fort Douaumont continue to welcome visitors every day.
