A Great Museum - A beautiful museum on the War 14-18 which is richly endowed. It mixes everyday objects of soldiers but also weapons, guns and even two tanks. Special mention should be given to the reconstituted trenches on the outside that allow for immersion (although the light colour of the floor covering would merit a darker paint to be even closer to reality). Let us never forget.

Do not hesitate to visit - A museum that should be visited by all to not forget what destroys a war. Millions of young people killed by the ambition of the privileged few

A nice surprise - I was around and I thought, "Why don't you go visit it?" Well I do not regret my visit, a real museum on a human scale with clear explanations. I'd go back with some friends to show them around.

Excellent WW1 museum - Really good museum about WW1. Did not realise the German army got this close to Paris. Well laid out and lots of information. No cafe open when we were there.

Amazing contrast of tragic and serenity. Place of unmissable memory. - Located a little away from the city of Meaux in a vast park perfectly maintained, this building with bold architecture houses one of the most interesting history museums I have seen. Excellent scenography, evocative ambient sounds, reconstructions of trench life, poignant documents, very rich collection of uniforms... I particularly appreciated the space given to “France of the colonies” and the role of its inhabitants in defending our metropolitan territory. A reminder always useful!!! This museum is both sad and beautiful. Much aesthetics in the reconstructions, much beauty in the exhibition despite the tragic situations. A superb achievement, too little known. If I understood correctly, and if I interpreted correctly the earthworks in progress at the back of the museum, a trench reconstruction is in progress. This is a very good idea, which can only attract more people. This museum deserves it! We'll be back when this is over. Very friendly staff, very nice shop rich in books and souvenirs.

Great day - Coming as a family during a reconstruction for the 110 years of the Great War, we had a great day. For €5 per person we had access to the museum, exhibitions as well as camps and activities around the museum. Very well done, for children also, mine at 5 years old and was captivated and people very pedagogues. Exterior demonstration of a Saint Chamont tank recreated to scale and firing blanks (this remains very impressive). Presentation of a disappointing German flamethrower because info "sold" as a demonstration when it was just shown worn by a participant. The food tucks present were good but a little expensive ( 12€ the hot dog very well stocked but still). Different nationalities represented and exciting enthusiasts.

Very interesting visit - I visited this museum last year and found it extremely interesting. This is one of the historical museums I have loved the most. I really enjoyed seeing the reconstructions of the trenches.

100% worth going, !!! - Absolutely brilliant ! Wasn’t far to drive from Disney and was great, The grounds before going In were beautifully laid out. There was areas to eat, There were a lot of car parking spaces . They have disabled parking if required.. This is suitable for most ages with great exhibits and a lot of memorabilia. headphones are available if required, We bought our tickets as we arrived not before hand. Would go again!

Run away! - To flee!!! Museum uninteresting and much too small , haughty staff and not very pleasant whether it is the guards, the welcome ALL the staff including a guide named Marie who is extremely haughty which does not make you want to learn. I'm not coming back!

Wrong museum booked!!! - Wrong museum booked!! Instead of the museum in Peronne, the same museum in Meaux booked. Both museums of the Grande Guerre. Too bad, 40 euros to the buttons and the tickets can no longer be used later on date.
