Tips from the Community
This is where the de Gaulles are buried. Charles de Gaulle's grave lies between the large memorial/museum and the La Boisserie residence, so it's easily accessible on the way from one to the other.

This is great. The RV spot is free. We asked a nice gentleman, who seemed to be a caretaker, if we could camp for one night, and it was no problem at all. We met only nice people ❤️
