Lieu de mémoire du Chambon-sur-Lignon, World War II memorial museum in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France.
The memorial center documents the resistance activities through permanent exhibitions featuring photographs, personal accounts, historical documents, and multimedia presentations.
From 1940 to 1944, the residents of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon and neighboring villages provided shelter to over 3000 refugees fleeing Nazi persecution.
The exhibition halls present the story of the Protestant community that followed Huguenot traditions by offering sanctuary to persecuted individuals.
Located at 23 Route du Mazet, the museum offers guided tours with access to exhibition spaces, audiovisual presentations, and a memorial garden.
The village received collective recognition from Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Institute in 1990 for protecting Jewish refugees during World War II.
