NATIONAL NECROPOLIS AND RESISTANCE MEMORIAL

The building is impressive both in its size and in its architecture: the V of Victory embedded in a huge Lorraine cross, measuring 21 meters high. The memorial, built on a hill, overlooks the cemetery below which contains more than 2,000 graves of resistance fighters and soldiers of the Second World War, whatever their religion. It also contains three World War I combatants. The bas-reliefs of the memorial are real stone books, which tell the story of the civil and military resistance.
