MONUMENT

Mont Valérien Memorial

Avenue du Professeur Léon Bernard - 92150 Suresnes 92 - Hauts-de-Seine

The Mourchevel restaurant (raclette, Savoyard fondue, barbecue, grilled meats, mulled wine ...) is installed at the summit of Mont-Valérien from December 6, 2019 to March 1, 2020. Every day at dinner (lunch from Wednesday to Sunday).

In Suresnes, near Paris, Mont-Valérien was the main execution site in France by the German army during the Second World War. Nearly 1,000 men - resistance fighters, hostages, foreigners and Jews - were shot there. In 1960, General de Gaulle inaugurated the Mémorial de la France combattante, to honor those who died for France between 1939 and 1945. The site can be explored via a historical trail and a "Parcours du Souvenir" (remembrance trail), retracing the steps taken by those shot, from their arrest to their execution. This place of remembrance and transmission provides a better understanding of repression, collaboration and the price of fighting for freedom.
