Espace François-Mitterrand, Memorial park in Château-Chinon, France

Located in an oak forest overlooking the Bazois plain, this park features sixty-seven oak trees surrounding a central oak of remembrance.

During World War II, François Mitterrand established his resistance network in Burgundy and met his future wife Danielle Gouze in Château-Chinon in 1944.

The park includes the Salle des Échanges, a crypt with a metal sculpture called 'laser', and a bronze bust of François Mitterrand at the entrance.

The park provides free access throughout the year and offers a two-and-a-half kilometer circuit for visitors to explore connections between Mitterrand and Château-Chinon.

A dolmen within the park commemorates the Gallic Eduens who formed alliances during the Gallic Wars against the Romans in 52 BC.
