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.

This is great. The RV spot is free. We asked a nice gentleman, who seemed to be a caretaker, if we could camp for one night, and it was no problem at all. We met only nice people ❤️

At Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, the immense Cross of Lorraine invites you to visit the memorial dedicated to General De Gaulle. The resistance fighter and liberator of France lived and is buried in the cemetery of this town. Once inside the building, many objects and vintage cars will delight history buffs.

In memory of a great European, through whose initiative the German / French reconciliation became possible. Chapeau!

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 ...
