Maison du docteur Dugoujon, Historical resistance house in Caluire-et-Cuire, France.
Description
The Maison du docteur Dugoujon is a 19th-century private residence featuring classical bourgeois architectural details, located at Place Gouailhardou in Caluire-et-Cuire. The two-story building displays the typical design of wealthy Lyon neighborhoods from that era.
History
The house gained historical significance on June 21, 1943, when the Gestapo arrested Jean Moulin and other French Resistance leaders there. This event transformed the location into a site marking a turning point in France's World War II experience.
Culture
The house takes its name from the doctor who lived there and represents the wealthy residential neighborhoods of Lyon during the 19th century. Today the place evokes both this bourgeois past and the wartime events that defined its legacy.
Practical
The house remains privately owned, so visitors cannot enter the interior. The exterior and surrounding square can be viewed, where a memorial commemorates the historical events.
Did you know?
A statue of Jean Moulin was installed near the house in 2004 to commemorate his ashes being transferred to the Pantheon. The monument draws visitors who wish to honor the link between this location and the French Resistance.
