Mémorial de Poulguen, Memorial site in Penmarch, France.

The memorial stands on the dunes of Poulguen, displaying granite stones with engraved names of resistance fighters executed during World War II.

In April 1944, German forces executed 35 resistance members at this location, including fighters from Gourin, Spezet, and Mahalon maquis groups.

The memorial serves as a gathering point for annual ceremonies on May 8th, marking the anniversary of Nazi Germany's surrender in World War II.

Located at 17 Rue du Tumulus de Poulguen in Penmarch, visitors can access the site through organized commemorative events throughout the year.

Four unidentified resistance fighters rest at this memorial, marked simply as 'Four Anonymous' on the commemorative stones.
