Museum of the Surrender

Reviewed By MikeD5862 - Auckland, New Zealand

This place challenges you to use your imagination and asks you to stay and listen to the stories. There is something about the map room that inspires you to learn more about those who sat there in 1945 and asks you to look more closely at the people behind the names. There is something about the story of the unofficial newspaper that shows the US determined to seperate information from propaganda to let the front line forces make up their own minds, as the Axis trops were unable to. And there is something about the newspaper articles that casts sharp focus on history. The museum itself casts sharp focus of the position of Reims in history, and to the Second World War in particular. I can think of few places that will better reward the time spent here.

Marne 14-18, Centre D'interpretation De Suippes

Located on the former front of Champagne, the Marne 14-18 Interpretation Centre offers an original, interactive and humanist display of World War I : an approach which is at the same time educational, emotional and spectacular.See an original movie after the correspondence between three brothers in the front and their sister behind the lines.

Compact and accessible WW1 centre ; well-presented exhibits. A must-see is the very evocative memorial near the adjacent church to four executed French soldiers. The story behind their execution is very poignant.

6. Centre Historique Valmy 1792

Centre Historique Valmy 1792

1792. Revolutionary France is attacked at its borders by the Prussian and Austrian Armies moving towards Paris. The defence of the country gets prepared and the confrontation will take place on the hilltops of Valmy. On 20 September, General Kellermann takes advantage of the morning fog to set up his army near the windmill. Facing him, 40 000 Prussians. The artillery rumbles and a downpour of fire strikes the hill. Against all odds, the French hold their positions. The next day, the First Republic is proclaimed in Paris. Goethe, the German poet present during the battle, wrote that “from this place and from this day dates a new era in the history of the world.” VALMY 1792 HISTORICAL CENTRE Keep your eyes peeled, the pictures come to life before your very eyes. Admire a rare piece of artillery: the Gribeauval Cannon! A 3D-animated model recreates the movements of the troops: detonations, the smell of gunpowder and yesteryear autumn fragrances have you relive the battle.
