The way the museum is laid out is different, from the battlefield sound track that plays as you walk through the gate from the car park to walking alongside soldiers going into battle. The soldiers in the glass cases have some half out as though you are walking with them. A lot of the written information is in |French but I believe you can download an app to pick it up in other languages. The displays take you from the late 1800's through to the rise of Hitler, very well thought out.

The signature Cathedral of Meaux of what started off as a Romanesque style building which then redone in Gothic style. The Cathedral opens daily to the public but no services as it's going through some restoration work to the western façade portals and the organ buffet inside. It's stupendously magnificent inside and because of its overall height inside it allows natural light to illuminate the interior. Most notable is the monument to jacques Bénigne Bossuet, born in Dijon and was a bishop of Meaux, and is buried in the Cathedral. The stunning stained-glass windows, especially around the ambulatory area behind the high altar, are spectacular. My favourite is the "vasari corridor" that connects the Bishopric Palace to the cathedral at one of the left chapels behind the high altar. It's mesmerisingly beautiful and a must visit monument of Meaux. You might also like to visit the Bishops Palace and the Bossuet Garden, all in one glorious site.
