Exceptional site. Find out beforehand to fully understand this “Lafayette” squadron of aviators who came from America to fight during the First World War. Fallen airmen are buried in the crypt beneath this impressive memorial.
The mosaic of the Indian warrior's head is one of the two emblems of the squadron. Worth a stop.
From Saint-Cloud park, passage under the highway in a not very high and picturesque tunnel followed by a footbridge on the railway line.
