Romagne 14-18 WWI Museum Romagne-sous-Montfaucon France

An informal but extensive collection of military artefacts from World War I can be found in this museum-gift shop-restaurant in Romagne.

The building itself does not appear like a modern museum but it's worth a visit to step inside.
And it's not a bad place for lunch.

The village is small and worth a walkabout

At the opposite end of the village from the church is a street named for General Pershing, which leads to the American Cemetery.

Hill of Vauquois France

Before World War I, Vauquois was an actractive village on a hill near the Argonne forest. The craters reveal the effects of many explosions that erased a village and left craters as a remembrance of war one hundred years ago.
