Centre d'Histoire de la Résistance et de la Déportation

Lyon, "capital of resistance," had to create a center of history worthy of his role was during the Occupation. Housed in the old school military health, within the same building in which the Gestapo chief of Lyon, Klaus Barbie, raged, the Centre for the History of Resistance and Deportation strives to be more than a museum of memory. It is a strong and symbolic in the service of History and Memory. A place that invites us to revisit, through its permanent exhibition, one of the darkest periods of our history, and also opened a center for reflection, for his many exhibitions on the contemporary world.
