DEPORTEE MONUMENT
Go there and contact
A monument erected in memory of Clermont's deportees during the Second World War.
On July 30, 1944, a clash with German soldiers led to the deportation of a hundred men from the area. 72 of them perished in the camps. This monument was erected in their memory in 1947, the work of the sculptor Lagriffoul, Grand Prix de Rome. In 1950, V. Auriol, President of the Republic, paid his respects here. An urn containing the ashes of Dachau deportees was given to the commune in 1954 and then placed behind the monument. Clermont also has a monument to Franco-German reconciliation, inaugurated in 1995 (on the D603).
