Info
An exhibition in the Valenciennes corridor brings together around thirty objects tracing the military alliances between France and the United States. The display opens with the Marquis de La Fayette’s sword, taking visitors back to 1777, when the young officer landed in South Carolina to join the American revolutionaries.
Swords of honour, decorations and insignia mark the next stages. Items that belonged to Marshals Joffre and Foch recall the closer ties forged between the two armies during the First World War. The name given to a French brigade in 2009, Task Force Lafayette, carries the story introduced by the sword into the modern era.
