Musée de l'Armistice in Compiègne, featuring a replica of the wagon in which the Armistice was signed, and a cab from the Marne since 2021.
In the clearing at Rethondes, the Musée de l'Armistice plunges you into the history of the two world wars. From the Abri du wagon, a silent witness to the discussions of November 11, 1918, to the diorama depicting the same wagon in the clearing, each room is an immersion experience. The Marne cab, képis, cuirasses and even remnants of the mythical wagon 2419D are on display. In the video room, the women of the Great War take center stage. A stroll through a poignant history where memories, objects and symbols of peace mingle.

Je pense que beaucoup de personnes sont déçues d'apprendre que le vrai wagon n'existe plus.
I could have spent far more time here than the two hours I had available. It is well laid out and successfully explains the complex reasons and events that led to the horrific time in history which was the First World War.
All of the interpretation boards are in a time line and give the visitor an easily understandable view of events.
If I get the chance to visit again I will do so.
Places like this are not only important to educate future generations of the sacrifices of our ancestors gave but also to show the futility of war.
C'est un endroit qui se trouve près de Compiègne dans l'Oise.
