Monument national à la Résistance et aux Maquis de France du Mont Mouchet, World War II resistance memorial in Auvers, France
The granite monument stands at an elevation of 1,335 meters in the Margeride forest, featuring a central pedestal with French Resistance insignias.
The monument commemorates the June 1944 battles between 2,200 Wehrmacht soldiers and French Resistance fighters in the Mont Mouchet area.
Each year in late June, commemorative ceremonies bring together veterans and visitors to honor the French Resistance members at this memorial site.
The resistance museum next to the monument presents historical artifacts, photographs, and a film documenting the Mont Mouchet battles.
The memorial includes an eternal flame and the tomb of an unknown resistance fighter at its base, representing all who fought for French liberation.
