A museum where you can find out all about Georges Guingoin, his commitment and how he became involved in the Resistance
Did you know that this was one of the most important maquis in France? The exhibition rooms are dedicated to Colonel Guingouin's 1st Limousin marching brigade of Franc-tireurs partisans, the actions of the maquis, the horrors of war, the crimes of Nazism and the militia, and the surrender of Limoges on August 21, 1944. Documents, objects, weapons, costumes and uniforms trace the history of the Resistance in the region. We discover the "Grand Georges, France's first maquisard", who is buried in the Saint-Gilles-la-Forêt cemetery. A fascinating visit.

Guide passionné.
The person on reception was extremely welcoming and informative. He also helped us look for our lost car keys (which we later found elsewhere). It was a pleasure to meet him.
