Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve
2.8 km

Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve

As if it were the Baie de Somme... Its 241 hectares, 60% of which are covered by water, offer visitors a patchwork of amazing landscapes located in the immediate vicinity of the Marne: ponds, reed beds, meadows and groves provide shelter and food for more than 225 species of birds, some of which are endangered in the region, and which are undoubtedly the most remarkable wealth of the reserve ... Exceptional for the fauna and flora it shelters, it is part of the Natura 2000 site "Les Boucles de la Marne". Not so long ago, the Grand-Voyeux Regional Nature Reserve was still a quarry, where conveyors extracted sand and gravel with a crunch of grains. Excavated in the 1970s, the cavities were gradually transformed into waterholes, quickly colonised by reeds and birds, thus allowing nature to take over. The Maison du Grand-Voyeux is open to the public two days a week, with the aim of helping visitors discover the Grand-Voyeux while preserving biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystems. A discovery trail and observatories allow visitors to discover the incredible landscapes of the site and the multitude of bird species that have found refuge there. Nature activities, workshops and thematic conferences are also organised regularly and free of charge (see programme online at www.maisondugrandvoyeux.fr). Managed by the Agence des espaces verts (AEV) of the Île-de-France Region since 1999, it was classified as a Regional Nature Reserve in 2012. A partner of the AEV, the Association pour la Valorisation des Espaces Naturels du Grand Voyeux is responsible for the scientific monitoring of the site and for certain activities.

The American Monument
7.9 km

The American Monument

This gigantic 26-metre-high monument stands on the outskirts of Meaux, near the Musée de la Grande Guerre (Great War Museum). 'One can still hear the silent voices of the heroic sons of France. They braved everything, gave everything, over the course of long days full of snares, stalked by Death… They stemmed the tide of imminent disaster and their supreme devotion made the world shudder'. Marshall Joffre This gigantic 26-metre-high monument stands on the outskirts of Meaux, near the Musée de la Grande Guerre (Great War Museum). In the United States, the victory of the Marne thrilled every French sympathiser in the country. After that victory, the idea of creating a commemorative statue took shape, and a model competition was organised. The winner was Frederick Mac Monnies. However, it took 14 years for the project to come to fruition, and it was not until September 1932 that the American Monument was unveiled. The sculptor depicted the tragedy of 1914 in the form reminiscent of the purest creations of Antiquity. France, the central character, resembles both a Spartan mother, ready to sacrifice her sons for the salvation of her country, and a sorrowful, distraught mother. She stands up, heroically, her heart bleeding. Her face is a long cry of anguish, a heart-rending appeal, launched over the panic of armies, the cry of alarm of a nation that must gather all its strength. That is why the monument was given the title of "La Liberté éplorée" ("Weeping Liberty").
