Musée de la Résistance du Mont-Mouchet

The Musée de la Résistance du Mont-Mouchet (Museum of Resistance at Mont-Mouchet) commemorates the activities of French Resistance groups in the Mont-Mouchet and surrounding Auvergne region under the German occupation of France during the Second World War. The museum contains documents, photographs, period objects, and historical displays which provide insight on the war in general and on the motivations for, organization of, and activities conducted by local resistance groups specifically. At times, the Mont-Mouchet region served as a center for more than 2000 Resistance fighters.   

Also on site is a memorial monument, inaugurated in 1946, dedicated "To the French Resistance and to the Maquis of France." The monument includes a sculpture of two Maquis members, and a Flame of the Unknown Maquis Soldier.
