The grave of the noted French prime minister, Georges Clemenceau, is located near Mouchamps at the small hamlet of Le Colombier. It may be reached by following the D28 road from the center of Mouchamps northeastward approximately two and one-half miles to a road on the right signposted as "La Brachetiere", "La Monceliere", and "Colombier". Very shortly after that initial right turn, the route takes a further right turn at the sign marked "Tombeau de Clemenceau". A separate sign says "Colombier", and the route continues on that road for approximately one and one-half miles. The tomb (along with that of Clemenceau's father) is on the left (in a small wooded area.)
