Charles de Gaulle Memorial: life-sized history
Visiting the Charles de Gaulle Memorial will be an opportunity to learn a little more about the history of this illustrious man and France.
In the commune of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, where General Charles de Gaulle settled with his family in 1934, a memorial was erected in 2008 to celebrate this major figure of French history.
In a modern building at the foot of the Cross of Lorraine, follow the life of Charles de Gaulle chronologically from his childhood to his first military experiences, from the Second World War to the creation of the Fifth French Republic, until his departure from power following the referendum of 1969.
This very dynamic exhibition, including 50 films, interactive multimedia terminals, 1,000 photographs, 40 maps and 240 graphic displays, provides you with a life-sized view of this history. Follow up the visit with a tour of the Côte des Bar, comprising the southern part of Champagne’s vineyards.
