In this cemetery are buried soldiers who died during the two world wars: 1,541 during the first, 24 during the second, and a wall of the disappeared that perpetuates the memory of 974 people who were never found. It is the only one dedicated to the American dead of these conflicts. Unlike other military cemeteries, this one was installed not near a battlefield but because of the proximity of the hospitals, where the soldiers were treated. It was inaugurated in 1919 by the President of the United States, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, American General John-Joseph Pershing and French Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The chapel built in 1932 was enlarged in 1952. During opening hours, a person is always available at the reception desk to welcome and inform visitors who wish to reflect, or simply walk around this three-hectare memorial site.

Le cimetière a était inauguré le 30 mai 1919 pour donner une sépulture à ceux venus des USA pour combattre les empires centraux , il y a 1565 pierres tombales dont quelques unes pour des soldats morts lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le site est situé près du mémorial de la France combattante.

Wir hatte einen tollen Empfang von Frau Sandrine. Sie hat uns alles erklärt und war super nett. Wir hatten jede Menge merkwürdige Fragen, aber Sie hat sich super viel Zeit für uns genommen.
Wir kommen gerne wieder und würden den Friedhof bzw. die Gedenkstätte jederzeit empfehlen.
Danke für die ChupaChups für unsere Kinder.

A deeply moving experience. The memorial and grounds were spotless, immaculately kept, honoring those buried there and ispiring profound respect for their sacrifice. It is about a 10 minute walk from the metro station, uphill, but well worth it.

J'ai pu visiter ce cimetière en faisant un passage à Paris. C'était vraiment une visite assez émouvante, c'est très poignant et j'ai vraiment été heureux de pouvoir venir rendre hommage à ces soldats morts pour la France.
