October 15, 2025, Clairière de l'Armistice

In the heart of the Compiègne forest, the Armistice Glade marks the place where the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, and then that of June 22, 1940. The site today includes the memorial with the “Armistice Wagon” (recreated car), the statue of Marshal Foch and the Alsace-Lorraine monument.

The sight of military cemeteries is always very sad, but we must not forget history.

Rethondes is associated with the armistice of 1918. On Sunday 10 November, Foch and Weygand attended mass in the small church. Outside hangs a commemorative plaque. Inside, the portraits of the two commanders are included in the stained glass window of the apse.

Anecdote: A bitter historical turning point occurred in 1940, when Adolf Hitler chose the exact same spot to sign the French surrender to Nazi Germany — in the same train car. He literally reenacted the 1918 scene, but with the roles reversed. Shortly afterwards, he had the car shipped to Berlin as a trophy. The site was partly destroyed, but was redeveloped as a memorial site after the war.

The Clairière de l'Armistice, or Armistice Place, is a clearing deep in the Compiègne Forest in northern France. It was here that the armistice ending World War I was signed on 11 November 1918. The signing took place in a railway carriage belonging to Marshal Foch, who had been brought to this remote location especially for discretion.

From 1860, Emperor Napoleon III transformed a small house nestled in the heart of the Compiègne forest into a charming rest stop, used by the Empress and her guests on the occasion of the great imperial hunts, organized in the Compiègne forest under the Empire. https://www.chateau-pierrefonds.fr/agenda/journees-europeennes-du-patrimoine-2024/le-pavillon-eugenie-ouvre-ses-portes-pour-les-journees-europeennes-du-patrimoine#:~:text=Pr%C3%A9sentation,de%20Compi%C3%A8gne%20sous%20l'Empire.
