Mémorial de Dormans 1914-1918 – Private tour
Plunge into the heart of history with a visit to the Dormans Memorial, an emblematic site of the Great War and the two Battles of the Marne. Nestled in a 25-hectare wooded park, this impressive monument, a World Heritage Site, pays tribute to the soldiers who fell for France.
Your visit begins in the crypt, a meditative space where the names of the heroes are engraved in stone. Continue on to the ossuary, where the remains of 1,500 soldiers are laid to rest, before entering the upper chapel, bathed in light and enhanced by monumental stained-glass windows. A journey steeped in history and emotion, perfect for a complete immersion in the memories of the Great War.
Don’t miss the two dedicated exhibition rooms, and for the more curious, climb the 105 steps of the tower to admire an exceptional panoramic view of the Marne Valley and its vineyards, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
To extend this experience, try a wine-tourism activity on site or nearby, combining historical heritage and tasting of local vintages. An original and tasty way to round off your visit!
