Memory of the Resistance
Memorial in homage to the Resistance in the face of the Nazi invader.
The Stone of Memory is backed by the Limousin oak, which, in this tragic period, reaches for the sky to break the "monotony", the disarray of the moment.

Laterally, the two great currents of the French Resistance each walk along their own space-time concretized by a line of pink granite.
The volumes located on or near these two respective paths represent the Nation's vital forces joining the resistance movements going, despite many trials, towards their unification on May 27, 1943 within the Conseil National de la Résistance.
The plant silhouettes are sometimes rounded, enduring the event, weeping or prostrate for moments of ultimate sacrifice and pain, sometimes erect, proud, combatants, symbolizing, against the Nazi occupier, the forces of the Resistance launched towards victory.
