The Charles de Gaulle Museum is sited and bult so that the vastness of the Haut Marne landscape is evident from the foyer, thereby giving visitors a literally heightened sense of de Gaulle's view from his study, in La Boisserie, his house at the other end of the village. The museum contains artefacts, documents, and media presenting, illustrating and explaining the life and achievements of one of the Twentieth Century's great men. One has neither to be French nor in agreement with all he did to get a sense of the immense public aura of the man as well as of his personal modesty. For anyone wishing to begin to grasp his significance (and an understanding of 20th Century France) this museum is a must.

The family de Gaulle allows one to see the part of their estate where history was made. Thanks to the very knowledgeable guide one receives explanations on the history of this place.
