Things to see and do Suresnes

In this cemetery are buried soldiers who died during the two world wars: 1,541 during the first, 24 during the second, and a wall of the disappeared that perpetuates the memory of 974 people who were never found. It is the only one dedicated to the American dead of these conflicts. Unlike other military cemeteries, this one was installed not near a battlefield but because of the proximity of the hospitals, where the soldiers were treated. It was inaugurated in 1919 by the President of the United States, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, American General John-Joseph Pershing and French Marshal Ferdinand Foch. The chapel built in 1932 was enlarged in 1952. During opening hours, a person is always available at the reception desk to welcome and inform visitors who wish to reflect, or simply walk around this three-hectare memorial site.

Mount Valérien is known mainly for its fort and the American cemetery. But it also houses the barracks where the 8 ^th French transmission Regiment is stationed and has retained a very beautiful military pettiness, the only one in France. He also participates in civil competitions, because yes, big is also a sport and serves not only to send messages in hostile times. The museum devoted to it contains a wealth of historical treasures elsewhere elsewhere and presents in an educational way the history of big from antiquity to day, giving a large space to the military activities of the travellers'pigeons during the last conflicts. A very informative documentary film can also be projected.
