    Memorial to the end of World War I and thus to the victory of the French and their allies. In a small museum is the historic railway wagon. Outside, the stands of the German and French railway wagons were displayed.

      The museum of this memorial is not as small as it seems at first. Next to the wagon on display, in which the two. Armistice treaties were signed, contains an exhibition on the fighting of the First World War and its historical significance. Admission is manageable. Captions in French, English and German

        The armistice agreement of World War I was signed here on November 11, 1918 in a clearing in the forest of Compiègne in a railway carriage.

        In June 1940, France's capitulation to the German Reich was also signed here and in the same carriage. For this purpose, the carriage was brought back here from a museum on Hitler's orders.

        The original carriage no longer exists, but you can admire an identical carriage here in the museum for a fee.

        Today you can also find a lot of patriotism and commemoration here.
