Memorial Charles De Gaulle

Located in Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, the small village in Champagne where Charles de Gaulle lived for so many years and where he is buried, this memorial to him surprises and intrigues with its innovative approach and impressive multi-media effects. The memorial is divided up chronologically, taking the major series of events in de Gaulle’s life and presenting them through films, multi-media, interactive interpretations, images and words. The only actual artefacts are two Citroen DS cars used by de Gaulle, one showing the bullet holes made during the near fatal attempt on his life in 1962.
