This cemetery is the final resting place for the brave US soldiers from WWI. It is a nice setting overlooking Paris. There is a chapel that you can visit, but be sure to push hard on the door, I couldn't get it to open while I was there but saw another group making a visit. Push hard on the door! There is parking on the street out in front and on streets in the nearby area. There is no cost to enter the grounds.If you love your freedom, stop by and visit these men that helped to preserve your freedom. This is an overlooked site that is worth your time.

I wish there was a way to get this higher on the list of sites people should see when visiting Paris. It is stunningly beautiful, a great tribute to American history (and Franco/American friendship & cooperation). It also offers amazing views of the city of Paris, you can grab great pictures of the whole area if it's a clear day.Open pretty much every day (except 12/25 and 1/1) from 9-5.

Walking up to the American Cemetery from Suresnes was worth the effort. The cemetery is very elegantly maintained, befitting the soldiers memory. The view from the garden in front of it is breathtaking. The high up place gives view of city of Paris, right up to Eiffel towers, on the other side you get to see the skyscrapers of La Defense.

When visiting Europe I try to include a visit or two to "the boys" who are still here. The Surenes cemetery is small but a spectacular location under ramparts of Fort Mont-Valérien and overlooking La Defense to the Eifel. We signed the guest book with damp eyes. Not the heart tugger as Verdun or Normandy but still an emotional visit. I particularly appreciate the accounts/photos of the GI's remaining where the villagers put them, there is something of slleping in the soil you died for. If on duty, take time to talk to the American Caretaker.

Due to the fact that my grandfather served the entirety of WWII, I am always interested in seeing oversea memorials to American soldiers. This cemetery and its memorials are dedicated to the fallen of WWI and WWII. The guide I had made sure to highlight a few famous grave sites and to discuss the importance of recognizing American soldiers in Northern France.I found the whole trip very emotionally moving and highly recommend going at sunset to witness the staff lowering the flags. The site is a walk away from the nearest RER station, so I recommend a taxi.

Third trip to Paris, so looking for some different sites. 100th anniversary of WW I, so i was interested in that and came across the Suresnes American Cemetery, which is, essentially, in Paris. About 5 mi west of the Eiffel Tower. We took a cab to the cemetery and it was easy to take the RER to La Defense and then jump on the metro. Cab was 13 euro and the train was 2.65 euro (RER kiosks don't take American credit cards, so make sure you have some coins to get back or to take out there).Over 1,400 graves for WW I soldiers and 20+ from WW II. Very peaceful, quiet setting that is up on a hill. At the bottom of the hill as you enter, you can look back across the Seine and see Paris with a great view of the Eiffel Tower. The day we went, there was nobody else there, so the only sounds you heard were the American and French flags fluttering in the breeze, which is how it should be. The D-Day cemetery in Normandy is incredible, but you'll always have a pretty good crowd there.Lawn was manicured as expected and the chapel was a great place for reflection. We went to the visitor's center and looked through the photo album of the cemeteries in Europe, which was pretty impressive. The staff directed us to the train station (5 min walk down hill) and was very hospitable.If you're looking for some quiet and see something in Paris most don't get to see, this is worth the effort. Also, looked a great place for lunch right across the entrance (Au Pere Lapin - the father rabbit).

I have been coming to Paris for decades and only learned about this U.S. Military cemetery and memorial on my most recent trip in June. Just 5 miles west of the center of Paris and close to Versailles, the cemetery covers 7.5 acres and holds more than 1,500 graves of U.S. fatalities in World Wars I and II. It was moving to enter the cemetery and to see row after row of white grave markers (crosses and stars of David) in the well-tended green grass. The memorial stands at the top of the hillside and features a chapel flanked by a memorial to those lost in World War I and a memorial to those who died in World War II. The names of 974 missing in World War I are listed on bronze tablets in the chapel. It seemed fitting that we finally made it here on the 100th anniversary of World War I and the 70th anniversary of World War II. Though we visited with a friend who took us by car (plenty of parking), it is possible to come by public transport. One way is to take a train from La Defense to the Suresnes Mont Valerien station (4 minutes). The train runs every 10 minutes. It is a 10-minute walk to the cemetery, where a nearby overlook offers a nice view of Paris.

Trocito de historia....bien cuidado, aun hoy hay alguna tumba con flores frescas..., cerca hay un mirador donde se puede ver Paris y claramente su famosa torre

palestre

un lieu de recueillement où l'on ne peut que se souvenir du sacrifice que le peuple américain su faire pour nous redonner la liberté perdue. Un lieu où l'on ressent une immense gratitude à l'égard des familles de ceux qui ont un fils un frère ou un père qui repose sur la terre de France
