Mur des Fusillés de la Chapelle-en-Vercors, World War II memorial in La Chapelle-en-Vercors, France.

The Mur des Fusillés stands as a preserved wall and staircase from the Albert farm where sixteen civilians were executed during World War II.

On July 25, 1944, German forces invaded La Chapelle-en-Vercors, gathered the population in the main square, and selected sixteen men aged 17 to 38 as hostages.

This memorial site includes an educational space housed in a restored barn where visitors can learn about the local resistance movement and its martyrs.

The memorial location at coordinates 44.9609 N, 5.41023 E provides free access throughout the year for individual and group visits.

The memorial wall displays the emblem of the Pioneers of Vercors and features a cross above the commemorative plaque listing the names of the executed.
