Warfare Paris Big Bertha strikes

[leon7877]

We are going to Paris in about a month. Does anyone have a list of the location of Big Bertha impacts sites in Paris? Same for V2 in WW2. Any lists? Maps? Photos?

The last time we went I think I saw a historical marker at the School (Ecole) of Mines that said both a Big Bertha and Vs had impacted in the area. This seems very unlikely, so I fault my memory. In any event, I'd like to see and think about the impact sites of both weapons.

I have no family or formal knowledge to work from. Just a Boomer history buff.

I think you're looking for the Paris Gun. Big Bertha was a type of siege gun that saw extensive use in Belgium and eastern France but is not notable for having shelled Paris.
