I was born in Chaumont ,France does anyone know where this city is located?

Question

My dad was in the Air Force and he was stationed there.

Answer 1

I lived for a long time in Chaumont (Département de Haute-Marne) and still have some relatives there !

The air force base you are talking about is Semoutier right outside Chaumont (some 5 miles distance or so, on the RN67 , south west  )

On Google earth: 48° 06' 30" N - 05° 08' 30" E

The city is a very little and calm country side "prefecture".

Has no big industry or university ...

Some other guys above gave you some web sites . What else shall I say ? It's a really small town !

Answer 2

Hi, there are several "Chaumont" in France, I suppose Chaumont Haute Marne, Zip : 52000, french commune, préfecture: Haute-Marne, (Région Champagne Ardennes), 260 km from Paris (South-East), Altitude 320 meters, 31000 inhabitants called "les Chaumontais", you are born "une Chaumontaise". Very near (25 km)  there is a village "Colombey les Deux Eglises", Le Général de Gaulle" was owner of a house " La Boisserie", He is buried in the cemetery of the village, your Dad was in France when Charles de Gaulle was Président of French Republic from 1958 to 1969.  Thanks to your Dad came in France,  french citizen will never forget that Americans GI have contributed to the European Defense with  Atlantic Pact (NATO). In this time there was the Cold War and West Europe had to preserve its security in front of Russian.

@ Your Dad and his Unity was stationed on the small Airport (NATO), very near of Chaumont (3 miles).

Hey, according to my research, the chaumont you are obvoiusly looking for is about 270km southeast of Paris. The airbase where you father may have been stationed was Chaumont-Semoutiers Air Base, and this is located two miles south west of the city of chaumont. Hope this is helpful
