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.
