A museum with torture cells and rooms in the basement, considered a place of remembrance for families to discover.

This recently renovated museum aims to make the history of the Second World War accessible to as many people as possible. Housed in a building that between 1943 and 1944 housed the sinister Gestapo and Klaus Barbie, it traces the history of the Resistance and deportation in a local context, through objects and, above all, precious eyewitness accounts. An essential visit, especially for the younger generation, to ensure that the horrors of war are never forgotten.

C'est un musée transformateur. L'on ne ressort pas de là tels que nous y sommes entrés. A vif émotionnellement, la mémoire aiguisée par le fil de l'histoire, portés seulement par l'espoir de ce que l'on sait à venir. Merci pour ce moment tranchant, qui marquera mon être durablement. Christophe

This is a wonderful way to deal with a difficult period of French history. The museum is interesting, knowledgeable and a bit difficult.

Returned for a second visit in 2025. Still powerful and worth your visit.
