    The Lafayette Escadrille Memorial celebrates the memory of American pilots and their sacrifice during the First World War. Designed by architect Alexandre Marcel, this neoclassical triumphal arch was inaugurated on July 4, 1928, Independence Day, in the presence of Marshal Foch and Senate President Paul Doumer. The 68 aviators of the Lafayette Escadrille and the Lafayette Flying Corps are buried in the crypt, decorated with 13 remarkable Art Deco stained-glass windows.

    After the monument, you will find the beautiful Villeneuve Pond, home to numerous birds and a picnic area.
