Initially he was interred in the crypt of the Saint-Louis Church, or . In 1937 his remains were transferred to a monumental tomb sculpted by Paul Landowski, with inspiration from the 15th-century tomb of Philippe Pot, at the center of the Dome Church's northeastern chapel (). A statue of Foch was set up at the Compiègne Armistice site when the area was converted into a national memorial.
