The Lafayette Squadron Memorial is a historic monument to discover in the Domaine de St-Cloud. This monument houses the sarcophagi of 68 American pilots who volunteered during the First World War. Composed of a triumphal arch of two colonnades and a crypt, this memorial is one of the few places on the island of France dedicated to the First World War. Managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission, this atypical place rich in history, is discovered every day from 9 am to 5 pm.
