Fleury-devant-Douaumont (Village détruit de Fleury-devant-Douaumont)
The village of Fleury-devant-Douaumont was completely destroyed during WWI. The village signs still exist but not the village. Outlines of houses are marked, with a sign informing you who lived there. The ground still shows the effects of the bombs that fell so long ago. Only structure in the village is a small chapel.
