Chasseneuil-sur-Bonnieure National Cemetery and Memorial, National necropolis in Chasseneuil-sur-Bonnieure, France.
The cemetery extends over two hectares on a hillside, containing 2,255 graves of soldiers and resistance fighters from Southwest France.
German prisoners constructed the memorial between 1945 and 1951, following designs by architect F. Poncelet, who participated in the resistance movement.
The memorial features bas-reliefs covering 80 square meters that illustrate the experiences of civilian and military resistance fighters during World War II.
The site includes a renovated reception area, visitor information boards, and a parking area following improvements made in 2000 and 2001.
The crypt contains thirty alcoves holding remains of fighters, including Colonel Chabanne, with an inscription stating 'Français, ne les oubliez pas'.
