Discover this reference space for the history of internment and migration flows, recreating the conflicts of the 20th century.
At the heart of 20th-century history, the Memorial bears witness to the history of internment and migration. The permanent exhibition immerses visitors in the history of this place. More than 200 internment camps were set up in France, and the Memorial traces their impact on the lives of over 60,000 individuals. Visitors have access to a wealth of testimonies from former internees and a rich collection of archive films. The Memorial encourages reflection with a year-round cultural, artistic and scientific program.

Members' reviews on RIVESALTES CAMP
Au départ On n'est pas sûr d'être au bon endroit.
Puis en descend sous terre et on vit une expérience inattendue.
J'y ai passé plus de temps que prévu mais moins de temps que ce que j'aurais voulu.
Je reviendrais.
