National Memorial to the Algerian War and the Battles of Morocco and Tunisia
National Memorial to the Algerian War and the Battles of Morocco and Tunisia, War memorial at Quai Branly, France
The memorial consists of three square columns standing 5.8 meters tall, displaying names of 26,000 French service members who died in North African conflicts.
President Jacques Chirac inaugurated this memorial on December 5, 2002, to honor French soldiers and civilians who lost their lives during conflicts in Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.
The memorial incorporates the colors of the French flag through its three pillars: blue for military casualties, white for civilian victims, and red for additional information.
Visitors can access the memorial via Metro Line 6 at Bir-Hakeim station or RER C at Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel, with multiple bus lines stopping nearby.
Electronic displays continuously scroll through names in alphabetical order, allowing the database to incorporate additional names as new information becomes available.
