Description
Housed in an 18th century heritage site, the entirely restored and redesigned Pavillons Ledoux on Place Denfert-Rochereau, as well as in the neighbouring 19th century building, this new history museum has been created to teach the public about a shared history: that of two historic figures from the Second World War, Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque and Jean Moulin, and that of the Liberation of Paris.
The move to the Denfert-Rochereau site means visitors can immerse themselves in this history by visiting the command station of Colonel Rol-Tanguy, head of the Paris branch of the French Forces of the Interior, installed 20 m underground during the week of the Liberation of Paris. In order to reach and inform a wide audience, access to the museum's collections is free.
