Meaux Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 160 photos

a bishop Bossuet of king Louis XIV

and my wife native town, so yes I know it more than from a tourist point of view. Nice town by the river Marne and close to Disneyland.
And just around the battle of the marne, with a nice memorial inside the cathedral whre the tomb of bishop Bossuet is also, and now a great museum about the events of 1914-18 in the area too

the tomb of bishop Bossuet

adviser and religious teacher to king Louis XIV, bishop of Meaux, known as the Eagle of Meaux,

my old wife neighborhood

many memories of coming here since 1990. The town is like my own as it is the birthplace of my wife right on that street we met for the first time, her aprt was the big white facade house you see.

My kids walked in France here first, even on strollers from 6 mos old. Memories on VT.
