Itinerary
"Time will not tarnish the glory of their deeds" General John Pershing. Discover the history of this Memorial which celebrates the memory of the American volunteer pilots who gave their lives during the First World War, under French uniform, before the United States entered the war. Indeed, the Escadrille La Fayette was created on April 20, 1916, a year before the U.S. Congress declared war on April 6, 1917. If you would like to discover this site with a guide, please do not include any comments when booking.
At the end of a forest path, you will discover this memorial located on the heights of Versailles. It was erected as a tribute to the American army that fought in the First World War and to the army of the American War of Independence. 2 great men face each other : General Pershing and General Lafayette.
Before looking at the Chateau de Versailles, created by Louis XIV, close your eyes. After France entered the war against Germany, thousands of soldiers, horses and equipment were gathered in Versailles before leaving for the front.

The Palace of Versailles began as a hunting lodge of Louis XIII, and Louis XIV turned it into the seat of royal power, moving the court here in 1682. Its centrepiece is the Hall of Mirrors, seventy-three metres long, with seventeen mirrored arches facing the garden windows, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed in June 1919. The royal apartments, the Opera and the Chapel complete the palace.
