De Gaulle and Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises

We had a wonderful outing today, to the town of Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises (60 km south of St. Dizier). This is a panorama of Charles de Gaulle's estate, called La Boisserie, with nine acres of land and a relatively modest mansion (he owned it from 1934). We visited four rooms on the ground floor, including his office (on the left), and the small card table where he died suddenly in 1970, less than 18 months after resigning. After lunch we went to the Memorial Museum  on the crest of the hill above the town. It includes the massive Cross of Lorraine (in the extra, erected in 1972).  The cross was the symbol of Free France during World War II (opposed to the Nazis' swastika). The museum itself was opened in 2008,  in an attractive building with excellent displays on every imaginable aspect of De Gaulle's life (we spent nearly three hours there). The day was altogether a profoundly emotional experience for me.
