Demarcation Line Interpretation Center, research and exhibition center with library and museography.

A unique place in France, the site is dedicated to the history of the demarcation line that cut France off from Switzerland to Spain, crossing the Saône-et-Loire. The building with its symbolic architecture houses the permanent exhibition. Its construction on the banks of the Canal du Centre is a reminder that the canal was used in 1940 to demarcate the demarcation line. 22 panels retrace the daily life of the French during this period. A fascinating place full of history.

visit would have been, but it was closed. Was there around 2:35 (Thursday) Nice information tables around, also in English. So I got interested to see more.

Interesting informations about mining and shipping history. And of course about the situation at Demaration Line between occupied French North and "free" Southern part.

Intéressant que cet endroit. Bien situé et assez facile d'accès avec parking. Il est de plus le point de départ d'un parcours pour découvrir écluse et point de vue. Bassin, bateaux côtoie ce lieu de souvenir. Boite à livres. Abords ludiques. A voir.
