The Meaux region : a cultural treasure to explore

Located just 30 minutes from Paris, Meaux, along with the rest of Seine-et-Marne, offers a wide range of cultural and historical sites for you and your family to discover.

You might not immediately think of going to the outskirts of Paris for a cultural trip, be it alone or with your family. But there are plenty of museums and exhibitions throughout the greater Paris area, especially in Seine-et-Marne, that offer a multitude of cultural and historical experiences.

Take a trip to Seine-et-Marne to expand your knowledge of history. The Great War museum in Meaux offers the chance both to explore what is right on the capital’s doorstep, and to get to know more about what went on in the First World War. The thousands of items and works on show will take you right into the heart of what soldiers and civilians went through between 1914 and 1918.

Close to the museum you can also explore many of the battlefields and cemeteries that trace the history of the First World War
