Verdun
Verdun (/vɛrˈdʌn, vɜːr-/;French pronunciation: [vɛʁ.dœ̃]; medieval German: Wirten, official name before 1970 Verdun-sur-Meuse) is a small city in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France. It is a sub-prefecture (arrondissement) of the department.
Verdun is the biggest city in Meuse, although the capital of the department is the slightly smaller city of Bar-le-Duc.
History
Verdun (Latin: Verodunum, meaning "strong fort") was founded by the Gauls (as its Celtic name shows; "Dunum" is the Latinized version of a Celtic word meaning oppidum). It has been the seat of the bishop of Verdun since the 4th century AD, with interruptions. In the Treaty of Verdun in AD 843, the empire of Charlemagne was divided into three parts.
The city has been famous for Dragées or sugared almonds from 1200 onwards; they were distributed at the baptism of French princes.
Verdun was part of the middle kingdom of Lotharingia, and in 1374 it became an Imperial Free City of the Holy Roman Empire. The Bishopric of Verdun formed together with Tull (Toul) and Metz the Three Bishoprics, which were annexed by France in 1552 (recognized in 1648 by the Peace of Westphalia).

Verdun
by: Michel SardouPour celui qui en revient
Verdun, c'tait bien
Pour celui qui en est mort
Verdun, c'est un port
Mais pour ceux qui n'taient pas ns
Qu'taient pas l pour apprcier
C'est du pass dpass
Un champ perdu dans le nord-est
Entre Epinal et Bucarest
C'est une statue sur la grand place
Finalement Verdun
Ce n'est qu'un vieux qui passe
Mme si l'histoire nous joue souvent
Le mouvement tournant par Sedan
C'est du pass
C'est la chanson des Partisans
C'est 1515, c'est Marignan
Dpass
Une guerre qui s'est perdue sans doute
Entre Biarritz et Knokke-le-Zoute
C'est une statue sur la grand place
Finalement la terreur
Ce n'est qu'un vieux qui passe
Pour ceux qu'on n'a pas revus
Verdun, n'est plus rien
Pour ceux qui sont revenus
Verdun, n'est pas loin
C'est un champ brl tout petit
Entre Monfaucon et Charny
C'est ct
C'est une sortie dans le nord-est
Sur l'autoroute de Reims Metz
On y va par la voie sacre
Finalement, Verdun
C'est un vieillard rus
J'ai une tendresse particulire
Pour cette premire des dernires guerres
Dpasse
Bien sr que je n'tais pas n
J'n'tais pas l pour apprcier
Mais j'avais un vieux Verdun
Et comme je n'oublie jamais rien
Je reviens
Je reviens
