    A beautiful memorial to brave young adventurers who came to help. It's in a beautiful under rated park near Paris and accessible by RER. An idéal monument to aim for on a picnic/ hiking day.

    (Translated by Google) Very well maintained memorial site. Very good visit to do. (Original) Lieu commémoratif très bien entretenu. Très bonne visite à faire.

  • 5/5 FERNANDEZ J. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Since this place of memory has been taken over, restored and brought back to life (despite it being a mausoleum), the visit has become essential. The staff is very pleasant and very knowledgeable about the monument, the period and the life (and death, for some) of these heroic pioneers of war aviation. Glory to them, and thank you. (Original) Depuis que ce lieu de mémoire à été repris, remis en état et rendu vivant (malgré que ce soit un mausolée), la visite devient incontournable. Le personnel est très agréable et très savant sur le monument, la période et la vie, (et mort, pour certains) de ces héroïques pionniers de l'aviation de guerre. Gloire à eux, et merci à vous.

    The memorial is located in a great place. Easy to reach from Paris by train or car. Or ride a bike from Saint Cloud. Also there is a visitor centre, small but it is very informative. The people at the memorial are super helpful. A great way to learn about the squadron and the US pilots that fought for France during WWI under the French colours.

  • 5/5 Thibault J. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful memorial with a small very interesting museum in the visitor center where the guide presents the history of the squadron, all in a beautiful peaceful park. (Original) Très beau mémorial avec un petit musée très intéressant dans le visitor center où le guide vous présente l'histoire de l'escadrille, le tout dans un beau parc paisible.

    Le moment de surprise passé, l'émotion a pris le dessus. Notre guide nous a captivés en faisant le récit de cette histoire peu connue. Nous la remercions chaleureusement. Et nous recommandons la visite de ce site. En bonus, le cadre du magnifique parc de Saint-Cloud.

  • 5/5 Criloux S. 2 years ago on Google
    Visite en famille de ce lieu majestueux chargé d'histoire... Le cadre est splendide. Nous avons eu une visite guidée du Memorial et de la crypte. Notre guide était parfaite, intéressante et nous a livré plein d'anecdotes historiques. Le lieu est très émouvant. Nous recommandons fortement.

    It is very sad to see the names of the young men and places that they fought at.

  • 5/5 Beverley D. 6 years ago on Google
