Complete description of site

In the clearing on 1497-meter-high Mont Mouchet in Margeride, The National Maquis Monuments has stood since 1946, rising above the remnants of the house in the forest that served as headquarters for the Maquis before it was destroyed in June 1944.

The Resistance Museum, established in 1989, was completely rethought in 2008 to reach especially youth and generations that had not lived through World War II.

By means of photos, newspapers, posters, objects, scale-models, assorted documents and chronologies, it offers several levels of interpretation to visitors, setting the Resistance in Auvergne and the fighting in June 1944 in Margeride in the context of the history of the war in Auvergne, in France and in the world.

A comic strip relates the story of two Maquisards, Pierrot and Lucien, to youth audiences.

A thematic hiking trail has been set up not far from the museum.
