Meaux and the surrounding area are still marked by the fighting of the Battle of the Marne which took place in September 1914. The Great War Museum, Europe’s largest museum dedicated to the First World War, is the most visible expression of the importance the region attaches to passing on the history of the First World War. But there are also many associations that perpetuate the memory of the First World War in the region, starting with the Société des Amis du Musée de la Grande Guerre: SAM2G
