Bastogne Essentials

Bastogne serves as a living memorial to the 1944 Battle of the Bulge. This collection centers on the Mardasson Memorial and the Bastogne War Museum, which provide comprehensive historical context for the Allied defense. Beyond the town center, the Bois Jacques woods preserve the original foxholes of the 101st Airborne’s Easy Company. Military history continues at the Bastogne Barracks and General McAuliffe’s headquarters, while the medieval Porte de Trèves and the Musée en Piconrue offer insight into the region’s older architectural heritage and Ardennes folklore.
