Doctor Dugoujon’s house, which became the Jean Moulin Memorial in 2010, is registered as a National Historical Monument and as a Maison Des Illustres (Illustrious House). It has been restored so as to respect its original appearance, and is one of the most important and best-preserved remnants of the French Resistance in the Lyonnais region. It has been owned by the City of Caluire et Cuire since June 2014.
