Tips from the Community
This is where the de Gaulles are buried. Charles de Gaulle's grave lies between the large memorial/museum and the La Boisserie residence, so it's easily accessible on the way from one to the other.

An interesting museum shop and café. Free parking. Those who buy the combination ticket can also visit the de Gaulle family home. A walk there also takes you past the cemetery with the family grave.

It was by chance that we had lunch at Colombey les deux Eglises and wondered about the frequent visitors to the cemetery, who were devoutly stopping by a simple white marble cross. Then we quickly realized that we had found our rest stop not 20 meters away from the grave of the great French president and convinced European. What a nice coincidence. A nice place worth a visit. Although we had no time for a visit to the residential building (Small Castle), but we will certainly get all this after ...
