Museum of the Resistance
About This Museum
Nestled deep in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan, this museum stands as a quiet but powerful testament to the area's fierce history. The dense forests here weren't just scenic; they were a crucial sanctuary for the French Resistance during World War II. Inside, you don't just see objects behind glass—you hear the crackle of old radios and follow the harrowing journeys of ordinary people who became heroes. It’s an immersive, deeply moving experience that connects you directly to the soul of this rugged landscape.
Collection Highlights
The recreated Maquis camp in the woods is particularly evocative, showing how partisans lived and operated in secrecy. Personal artifacts like forged identity cards and clandestine newspapers tell intimate stories of danger and defiance.
