Camp de Voves, World War II internment camp in Les Villages Vovéens, France.
The camp spans across 7.85 hectares of land, featuring two distinct areas for detainee housing and administrative operations along Route Départementale 29.
Between 1942 and 1944, Camp de Voves functioned as a detention center for political prisoners under the Vichy regime, holding over 2,000 individuals.
The detained individuals organized educational activities and classes within the camp, maintaining intellectual engagement during their confinement period.
The memorial site includes an obelisk erected in 1974, an arboretum, and a museum displaying historical artifacts from the camp's operational period.
Twenty prisoners successfully escaped from the camp during its period as a political detention center between 1942 and 1944.
