Discover this reference space for the history of internment and migration flows, recreating the conflicts of the 20th century.
At the heart of 20th-century history, the Memorial bears witness to the history of internment and migration. The permanent exhibition immerses visitors in the history of this place. More than 200 internment camps were set up in France, and the Memorial traces their impact on the lives of over 60,000 individuals. Visitors have access to a wealth of testimonies from former internees and a rich collection of archive films. The Memorial encourages reflection with a year-round cultural, artistic and scientific program.

Ok.
Après il ne reste pas grand chose sur le site. Ils ont étayés au mieux afin que la mémoire reste.. Dommage, quelques tags et des panneaux illisibles..
Le site mérite plus de respect.
Enfin, pour clôturer la visite, un tour à travers une partie de l'ancien camp dont il ne reste plus que des ruines de ces bâtiments livrés à la merci de la glaçante tramontane en hiver ou de l'écrasante chaleur en été...
Une visite qui fait partie d'un devoir de mémoire que je vous conseille.
Prévoir 3 heures de visite si vous voulez lire tous les panneaux, une demi-journée entière si vous voulez en plus écouter les témoignages et voir toutes les vidéos...
Réduction de 3€ bien appréciable avec le Pass Patrimoine, ce qui ramène le tarif de l'entrée à 6,50€.
