Lonely Planet review for Maison Natale de Charles de Gaulle

The upper-middle-class house in which Charles André Marie Joseph de Gaulle – WWII Resistance leader, architect of the Fifth Republic and ferocious defender of French interests – was born in 1890 is now a museum presenting the French leader in the context of his times, with an emphasis on his connection to French Flanders. Displays include de Gaulle’s dainty baptismal robe and some evocative newsreels. The museum is 700m northwest of Musée de l’Hospice Comtesse along rue de la Monnaie and its northward continuation.
