Historical reenactment weekend 1914-1918

NOT TO BE MISSED: THE PARIS REGION’S NO.1 WW1 REENACTEMENT WEEKEND!

In the Museum’s gardens, visit a gigantic bivouac with more than 300 reenactors, vehicles and… animals!

There is plenty to see throughout the day, with bayonet fencing, a “Marne taxi” on the move, first aid for the wounded, with a donkey and a doc, quill writing workshops, war games, presentations of military equipment, and so much more!
