The emblematic carriage of the 1918 and 1940 Armistices

  Had we not had a toddler with us I would have spent more time taking in the information. As it was I was able to listen and read some of it and what I heard and the stereo photos were very interesting. It's a nice...More

  Where the armistice was signed. You visit the train wagon but also there is a relatively new museum behind still being finalised. Enjoyable.

  En pleine forêt à quelques minutes de Compiègne se trouve la clairière de l'armistice, lieu rempli d'histoire. Dans le musée très intéressant on y découvre le wagon, puis ensuite on découvre une belle collection d'objets, de vêtements d'armes et de documents concernant les deux guerres....Plus
