Go there and contact
A monument erected in memory of Clermont's deportees during the Second World War.
Monument to the deportees rounded up on July 30, 1944. Of the one hundred men sent to the hell of the camps, 72 never returned. This monument to their memory was erected in 1947 by the sculptor Lagriffoul, winner of the Grand Prix de Rome. In 1950, V. Auriol, President of the French Republic, paid his respects here. An urn containing the ashes of Dachau deportees was donated to the commune in 1954 and placed behind the monument. Clermont is also home to a monument to Franco-German reconciliation, inaugurated in 1995 (on the D603).
