Famous as the home of General Charles de Gaulle, the soldier and statesman who led Free France during the Second World War, Colombey-les-Deux-Églises has long appealed to history aficionados. De Gaulle often retreated from the bustle of Paris to his family home, La Boisserie -- part of which is now open to the public. The great statesman is buried in the village cemetery, and the Mémorial Charles de Gaulle — well worth visiting — sits at the foot of the enormous pink granite Lorraine Cross and impressive museum.
Peer into the village’s multiple churches over the course of your trip, hike along the footpaths of the Forest of the Dhuits or head to the region’s vineyards for terrific tours and tastings.
