Marne
Before the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914, German troops were positioned approximately 30 to 40 kilometers (about 18 to 25 miles) from Paris. They had advanced through Belgium and were closing in on the French capital as part of their military strategy. The French and British forces mounted a counteroffensive, ultimately halting the German advance and leading to a significant shift in the war's dynamics.
The first Battle of the Marne.
The Battle of the Marne, fought from September 6 to 12, 1914, was the critical engagement that halted the German advance towards Paris during World War I. Allied forces, primarily French and British, launched a counteroffensive that successfully pushed back the German army, leading to a stalemate and the establishment of trench warfare on the Western Front. This battle marked a significant turning point in the war, as it prevented the Germans from capturing the French capital and shifted the dynamics of the conflict.

The Battle of the Marne, September 1914 (early WWI), which took place along the Marne River in France between Paris and the German border. This battle was between the French and British forces against the German forces. The allied forces were able to push back the German offensive that had targeted Paris.
At their furthest advance westward during World War II, German forces reached a point approximately 100 miles from Paris. This occurred in 1940 during the Battle of France, when the German army quickly overran much of the country. The rapid advance and strategic maneuvers allowed them to encircle and capture Paris shortly thereafter.
