American cemetery and Meaux WWI Museum

The rain scuppered our original plan for the day, which was to spend some time in the American cemetery at Belleau and in the Belleau Wood.We stopped nonetheless at the cemetery for a quick visit. 


Then we decided to change our plans for something indoors, so the Musée de la Grande Guerre in Meaux was our pick.



It wasn't raining so much when we headed home, so we made a quick stop to the tour de Général Mangin in the Retz forest, close to home. This reconstruction of the observation tower from WWI reaches 25 meters high and provides a view of the entire area.
