I've done loads.of.WW1 and.WW2 spots but this one really surprised and impressed me. I was aware of the WW1 carriage being pulled out for WW2 but didn't quite get it fully. The other thing is you really get a sense that the defeat of Germany was not a forgone conclusion at that stage in 1940. The Molotov Ribbentrop pact was in place and the U.S. was about a year and a half away and their entry was by no means guaranteed. History could have...

First World War history... And ww2 also... In a fantastic area. The calm and silence was a surprise. In the middle of the wood... We couldn't ear even a bird. The atmosphere is loaded with significance and history is told in a accessible way. Should improve/repair the goggles with images of the past. And just a quote... It is our obligation has Mankind to remember this events... Or history will...

Le musée est remarquable et le lieu, profondément chargé d’histoire.

Toutefois, j’ai été extrêmement surpris d’apprendre que la personne en charge de l’accueil ignorait que le maréchal Pétain avait collaboré avec le régime nazi, et ne connaissait pas les dates fondamentales de l’armistice ni les principaux dirigeants de l’époque. Elle m’a même affirmé que l’armistice de 1940 aurait été signé par le président Poincaré, ce qui est historiquement inexact.

Dans un lieu aussi symbolique pour l’histoire de France, il me semble essentiel que le personnel de la réception maîtrise les notions de base de la période qu’il représente.

Même si je suis un « jeune homme », pour reprendre ses propos, je considère important que chacun ait accès à une information fiable et rigoureuse sur un événement aussi marquant de notre mémoire collective.

Je ne souhaite faire le procès de personne, mais j’ai été extrêmement étonnée de la réaction de...

I would really recommend visiting here just to appreciate the significance of the place in terms of the signing of armistice when Germany surrendered in the 1st world war and then the irony of the French agreeing armistice at the very same place to Hitler in 1940.. Won't take long to visit but will be worth it.

I was looking forward to seeing the replica of the carriage where the armistice agreement was signed.... but there is soooo much more to this museum than the carriage itself. Very well laid out, very informative. I would say allow 45-90mins to go around. Only downside- no cafe
