Desolate WWI Ruins Path to Paris Through Chemin des Dames
A traveler recalls Langone hours in Laon, suffering cold in a damaged building, and a brutal detour to Paris via Soissons and Compiegne. War wreckage haunts the Chemin des Dames as Fiat’s factory in Soissons lies ruined and salvage crews ply the landscape. The narrator notes the sobering sight and predicts lingering fear, despite glimpses of a wartime luncheon in Paris.
