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.

Merci à nos frères américains pour la liberté qu'ils nous ont rendues.
Parson pour ceux d'entre nous qui ne vous rendent pas justice.
Merci d'avoir été assez courageux que pour affronter les horreurs de la guerre. Pour que nous puissions vivre en paix.
Paix oui, paix à vos belles âmes, qui dorment ici.
Nous prions et pleurons pour vous.
Merci.

Memorial of American soldiers who served to protect the people and lost sacrificed their lives. The place has a lot of tombs on the big open area. There are around 3 other areas or rooms which has the emblem with a message and the names of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. The place is very close to the big park which gives you a panoramic view of la defense and the eiffel tower from the distance. The best way to reach can be a bus in the direction of la defense.

Un lieu de mémoire hors du temps, préservé du bouillonnement de la vie parisienne en contrebas du mont Valérien, donné en concession à perpétuité aux États-Unis pour honorer leurs morts de la 1ère guerre mondiale et de la 2ème guerre mondiale (pour une vingtaine d'entre eux). En les remerciant humblement de leur sacrifice pour la préservation de notre pays, que leur âme y reposent en paix!

Visite agréable de ce petit cimetière au pur style américain pour une halte lors du tour du Mont-Valérien entre le parc sportif départemental et la terrasse du Fécheray.
