Statele Unite contribuie la restaurarea castelului natal al marchizului de La Fayette

The United States honored Marquis de Lafayette by funding restoration work at his birthplace in France, marking the first grant from the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation. The $235,000 grant will support the restoration of the castle's gardens and the conservation of collections managed by the French Heroes of Lafayette Memorial Fund. The ceremony included the planting of two rose varieties named after Lafayette and George Washington, celebrating their historical friendship. Lafayette, a key figure in the American Revolutionary War, played a significant role in the victory at Yorktown, which led to American independence.
