Mémorial de la France combattante, French resistance monument in Suresnes, France
The Mémorial de la France combattante is a monument in Suresnes that combines sculpture and architecture on a substantial scale. A large stone cross stands at its center, surrounded by bronze figures and relief work set into a pink-hued wall.
The memorial was built in response to the need to honor those lost during the war and was opened to the public in 1960. In the years following its establishment, it became a focal point for ceremonies bringing survivors and families together.
The memorial serves as a place where people come to remember those who fought for their country's freedom. Visitors encounter representations of resistance members and soldiers that speak to shared memories of sacrifice.
The site is easily accessible on foot and has enough open space for visitors to walk around and view the artworks. An attached museum provides additional context and details about what you are seeing.
A walking path connects the memorial to nearby Fort Mont-Valérien, where executions took place during the war. The path itself has become part of a larger landscape of remembrance in the region.
