The accident on Rue de Champagne in Bar-le-Duc: six months later (20 photos)

Photographs of the consequences of the collapse of a retaining wall and photographic documentation of temporary solutions to this problem.

On October 31, 2025, a retaining wall of an apartment building collapsed on Rue de Champagne in Bar-le-Duc. Six and a half months later, I returned to the site to show the current state of affairs. I am deliberately refraining from any commentary — I wanted to give the floor to the residents of the city.

You can see comments from city residents on this topic on my Facebook page in French — here is a direct link to a summary of opinions on this topic: read >>>
