The resistance in the Morvan
The Morvan, a heavily wooded mountainous region, served as a refuge for all those seeking to escape repression and continue the fight against the occupying forces during the Second World War. Relive the story of these freedom fighters through the various museums and sites that have been set up.
Musée de la Résistance
Located in the Maison du Parc naturel régional du Morvan in Saint-Brisson, the museum provides an insight into the role and importance of the Resistance in the region during the Second World War, and in particular the work of the maquis, thanks to its extensive collection of objects, archive documents, equipment, photographs and weapons, presented in three rooms: Occupation, Resistance, Liberation and Remembrance.
Interpretation centre
Mémorial de Dun-les-Places
This interpretation centre is dedicated to the history and memory of this martyred village, which earned it the nickname "the Oradour of Morvan". From 26 to 28 June 1944, the village was looted and set on fire, and 27 men were shot. The three rooms of the memorial present the life of the village before the tragedy, the memory of the events based on oral and written testimonies and the period after, the physical and psychological reconstruction.

On the Paths of Remembrance
Twenty-eight Second World War memorial sites have been developed and given the "Résistances en Morvan - Chemins de Mémoire" label. They have been developed to continue this work of remembrance with a clearly recognisable identity. Enhanced by a scenography and the planting of plants, these facilities offer an educational and sensitive approach to this history, by theme.
These open-air sites are accessible all year round.
