A monument in Dormans, built by a committee set up by Madame de la Rochefoucauld, dedicated to the dead of the Great War.

This national monument dedicated to the dead of the Great War was built in 1921 according to the wishes of Marshal Foch. The chapel overlooks the valley of the Marne, the scene of the battles, and invites to meditation. The building pays tribute to the fallen soldiers through a series of magnificent stained glass windows and sculptures and also gives access to a museum. The cloister where the names of the army corps of the 1st and2nd battle of the Marne are engraved will lead you to the ossuary which contains 130 coffins containing the bones of about 1 500 unknown French soldiers.

Le Mémorial fut créé en mémoire de la 1ère et de la 2è bataille de la Marne (septembre 1914 et juillet 1918). C’est entre 1921 et 1931 qu’il a été bâti, grâce à un comité dirigé par la duchesse d’Estissac (Comtesse de La Rochefoucauld) , le Cardinal Luçon, archevêque de Reims, Monseigneur Tissier évêque de Châlons et le Maréchal Foch.
