Hi,
I have already posted some articles about our last Museum Tour we did in the end of April this year. But two museums are still missing.
Today´s post is about the "Musée de la Guerre de 1870 et de l´Annexion" in Gravelotte. I guess that there are not many museums dealing with the "Franco-Prussian War". And this one is recommendable. If you have the chance to get there you will enjoy it.
Here is a link for the website of the museum:

Cheers

| No deadly hits but this cuirassier had some aches for sure. |

| The German Kaiser ... |

| ... and the French Kaiser |
 |
| Europe in 1815 - The German states are not united yet. |

| In 1866 he unification of Germany begins and Prussia becomes the leader of the Norddeutscher Bund. |

After the visit of the museum our trip took us to Metz - a very nice town with some really impressive sights to see.
