Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Visited the cemetery to locate my great uncle's grave. My father was named after his deceased uncle being the eldest son of the deceased uncle's brother My father had a very unusual first name "Add". Seeing my father's name on my great uncle's grave stone was very emotional. We visited in a Sunday and had the cemetery to ourselves. It is so very peaceful it is hard to imagine the horrors these soldiers went through. My great uncle was a 19 year old from Kentucky. I have been to the American cemetery in Normandy and it is beautifully Aisne-Marie. Truly gives you such a peaceful and emotional moment.

The Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, at the site of Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I, does not attract the number of American visitors as the nearby Chateau Thierry Memorial and Cemetery or the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy. For U.S. Marines, however, it is a pilgrimage destination.
A fellow Marine and I (long past our active duty prime) and our wives planned to visit Belleau Wood on 1 June, in conjunction with the 100 year anniversary of the 1918 battle. The cemetery is only 40 miles east of Paris. In 1918 this was the front line of the Western Front.
In preparation for this trip we had contacted the Cemetery Superintendent. He greeted us upon our arrival. He congratulated us on our foresight not to have visited for the Memorial Day celebration when 8,000 people showed up for the ceremonies.
The grounds are well maintained by the U.S. federal government. The Superintendent is in fact an American citizen and a federal employee.
After walking among the grave markers, located at the point of the last German resistance, we drove down the hill into the town of Belleau. It is the site of the destroyed chateau that owned the hunting preserve we now call Belleau Wood. In the town is a newly opened museum dedicated to those who fought at Belleau Wood and the town’s people who struggled to endure the war.
On the grounds of the old chateau is the Bulldog fountain. It is said that Marines who drink from this fountain add ten years to their life expectancy. The fountain is in a gated section of the chateau’s ruins. The information desk at the museum has the key.
We then followed the driving tour of the battlefield much of which has been reclaimed by local town’s people and farmers. The wheat field, however, that Marines crossed under relentless German machine gun fire still exists as it did in 1918. Growing at the edges of these fields are the ever present red poppies that have become a symbol of WWI.
The drive takes you through Belleau Wood itself and to the Marine Monument. Along the way are remnants of the battle; machine gun emplacements, trenches and artillery positions. The route also takes sightseers through the town of Bouresches. This was a village captured in the early, confused fighting of this three week battle. Given more time I would have found the local cafe for lunch and a self-guided walking tour. Next time.
This was the first combat action by American ground forces in the war. The Marines where moved hurriedly to the front to thwart a major German offensive. If the Marines had failed to seize Belleau Wood, and thus to stop the German advance, there was little to keep the Imperial German Army out of Paris. The fall of Paris would have radically changed the outcome of the war to end all wars.
Oo-rah Devil Dogs! (Nickname given by German soldiers after Belleau Wood.)

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this cemetery last week. This cemetery is exceptionally well maintained and appropriately honors those who are buried here. I was especially impressed by the young American superintendent who took the initiative to approach me and who provided me with a lot of useful information to include a newly published book on WW I cemeteries and monuments maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission. My interaction with this young man made my visit that much more rewarding.

Visiting the Aisne-Marne Cemetery was part of the plan for our France trip from the beginning. We were there on June 8th under a cool, grey sky with almost no other visitors. This cemetery, most likely, does not get the same crowds as the Normandy cemeteries. We found it quite convenient to visit this site as the last item on our trip itinerary before heading to the airport, especially since the airport is about an hour away in light traffic.
I realize this is not a "fun" site but part of the fun was the long and winding road getting to the cemetery. Along the way we saw some of the most beautiful French countryside with fields of red poppies (a long-time symbol of WWI remembrance) and quaint rural homes. Our navigation system within our rental car had no problem leading us directly to the cemetery. You will see signs then the obvious well-manicured grounds so common with these sites. The parking is free and the visitor center offers pamphlets to pick up for free.
Of course the number of fallen is always staggering when you go to military cemeteries but you never quite get used to it. At this site there are the graves of almost 2,300 fallen most of which were killed in the Marne Valley in the summer of 1918. The chapel on the hill is the largest and most obvious feature of the cemetery and within there are the names of over another 1,000 missing in the general region! Behind the chapel is Belleau Wood, which is also the name of the battle where the Marine Expeditionary Force fought so valiantly. Within Belleau Wood are still many traces of WWI.

This cemetery has the unique advantage of being directly next to a battlefield, Belleau Wood. Additionally, this battle was one of the seminal battles of the US Marine Corps, so it is practically a homage point for Marines even though a good number of the other graves are from the US Army. It's wonderfully managed and all the support staff are knowledgable and offer insightful information. I was there two days after the huge 100th anniversary of the Belleau Wood battle. Also read my future review on the Belleau Wood battlefield.

My brother-in-law served in the Marines and highly recommended the stop at Belleau Woods. I echo that recommendation after visiting. No crowds, and yet such an experience. The cemetery itself is not massive compared to other military cemeteries, but stunningly beautiful in the late spring. The ground that was fought over is all around you, and a short drive or walk into town will put you by the museum and fountain. A short drive up the hill will lead to the Marine memorial and the remnants of trenches and shell holes in the woods. If you're driving between Paris and Reims and have any interest in history, and specifically the Great War, stop.

We stopped on a lark during a driving trip from Paris to Reims, on our way to a champagne and cathedral day trip. Saw a billboard, thought we would go see what's there. We were stunned. 4of us, generally gregarious, a little boisterous, irreverent, spent an hour or more just walking around and looking. We hardly talked despite being outside most of the visit. Just makes you stand and look and ponder.
It's a simple cemetery of white crosses marking the graves of over 2000 Americans who died during a late campaign in WWI in the Marne valley, including the battle at Bellau Wood here. Centerpiece is a memorial chapel with the names engraved on the walls. Tiny museum room displays a few artifacts and some background info. A real visceral reminder or what people sacrificed for the world we live in today.
If you are making this drive, don't miss it. An hour is enough if you are in a hurry, but you could spend 2 hours. It's small, you probably would not stay much longer, unless you have a specific reason. We saw signs for several other memorials in the area, all connected to the same campaign. Can't speak for any of them. WWII is still in the popular conscience, as we still have a few left who were in the war. WWI is largely in the history book category, not a real event in our minds, as it was 100 years ago. But this visit brought it to the front. Go there if there is any way you can.
Note that this summer will be the centennial of the campaign, probably will be a few ceremonies associated with it.

Aisne-Marne is the final resting place of over 2,000 brave American's who gave their all during WW I. I same here to pay tribute to my Uncle who died in action on Jun 6, 1918. Surrounded by Belleau wood this small enclave is a beautiful and peaceful remembrance to these soldiers and marines. I would highly recommend a visit here to learn the history and significance of the battles fought here.
Only about an hour's drive outside Paris, Aisne-Marne is easy to get to and we'll worth the effort.

I am saddened to think of all the young lives lost here and in all places of war and turmoil. I am comforted and glad to know that we have such memorials that immortalize their sacrifice in such a beautiful and serene setting. I must commend those who maintain the Cemetery/Memorial in its beautifully manicured lawns, trees and shrubs and the on-site chapel. Thank-You for what you do and making this a location that is worthwhile visiting in order to reflect and contemplate.

le lieu et très émouvant naturellement, cette histoire est malheureusement pas assez connue de nos concitoyens, il faut prendre un guide pour comprendre l'horreur des combats et le dévouement de tous ces jeunes soldats,morts dans la fleur de l'age pour nous, à ne pas manqué le petit musée, la fontaine des marines,et le champs de bataille
vraiment très émouvant,a faire avec des enfants pour leurs faire comprendre la stupidité du monde
