- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: Join assistant-archaeologist Pierre Legrand as he guides us back into the haunting landscape left in the wake of the First World War: a world of mud, shell‑torn fields, and villages reduced to rubble.
