Musée de la Résistance en Bretagne

The Musée de la Résistance en Bretagne (Museum of Resistance in Brittany) in Saint-Marcel presents the history of occupation, resistance, and liberation in Brittany during the Second World War. The museum’s permanent exhibitions present daily civilian life under German occupation following the Battle of France, the formation of resistance and maquis groups in Brittany, the Battle of Saint-Marcel on June 18, 1944, in which resistance forces repelled German troops before being forced to withdraw, and the participation of local resistance forces during the Normandy landings leading up to the liberation of Saint-Marcel and Brittany.
