Fusillés de la cascade du bois de Boulogne, Memorial site near cascade in Bois de Boulogne, France.

A commemorative monument with an oak tree and plaque marks the location where 35 French resistance fighters were executed during World War II.

On August 16, 1944, German forces executed young members of the French Resistance near the waterfall, just days before the Liberation of Paris.

The site represents French resistance against Nazi occupation, featuring a memorial plaque with the names of those who sacrificed their lives for freedom.

The monument stands in the Bois de Boulogne park at Carrefour de Longchamp, accessible through multiple entrances of the 16th arrondissement.

The oak tree at the memorial bears actual bullet marks from the execution, preserved as physical evidence of the historical events.
