Musée départemental de la Résistance et de la Déportation

Présentation

During the occupation, the forest of Orléans was home to a sizeable pocket of Resistance fighters. This museum commemorates this chapter of local history in a moving display that will immerse you in the turmoil of the Second World War.
About the monument :
A memorial museum that will immerse the visitor in the bleakest chapters of the history of Loiret, a hotbed of Resistance activity which paid a heavy price in deportation. Opened in 1988 and refurbished at the end of 2009, the museum retraces life in the département during the conflict through documents, testimonies, objects and weapons. A booklet for children (8-12 year olds) is available to facilitate their understanding of this period of history.
