Monument aux morts de la résistance de Cormatin

The memorial features a statue of a man raising his left fist toward the sky, with a French flag pole positioned behind the figure.

The monument honors thirteen local resistance members who were deported, executed, tortured, or killed in combat during Nazi occupation between 1940 and 1945.

The memorial incorporates the Cross of Lorraine, a symbol of French resistance, and contains an urn with sand from the Battle of Bir Hakeim.

Located at the village exit on the Cluny road, between the town center and Bois Dernier hamlet, the monument stands on a bridge over the Grosne River.

The monument includes inscriptions on both sides marking the years 1940 and 1945, with the message 'Resistance - French Remember - Deportation' on its base.
