20. The City of Varennes
Like many cities in this part of France, Varennes was so badly bombarded during the German air campaign that it was completely destroyed. After the war this region became known as the "Zone Rouge," an area deemed unlivable and unable to be rehabilitated, left for nature to reclaim over time.
