• The National Memorial of the Resistance in Vercors

  The National Memorial of the Resistance in Vercors is managed by the Park of Vercors, it allows to better understand the movement of the resistance and the maquis of the Vercors in particular. Integrated into the national network Mémora, its mission, in the face of the inevitable disappearance of the witnesses of this era, to perpetuate the memory of the maquis, the fighting but also the martyr villages of the last world war. A film projected in the last room of the museum, opens up the significance of the acts of resistance by more recent examples throughout the world. The memorial is built near the Camp6 of the maquis of Vercors.
• Camp C6

  Camp C6 was originally set up by Benjamin Malossane and Michel Weber from the Combat movement before coming under the authority of the Franc-Tireur Resistance organisation. It was located first in Laragnole, in the municipality of Rochechinard, and subsequently on the Montagne de Musan and Col de la Chau. The Grange Vauneyre in this clearing reflects the atmosphere of the camp to this day. It was close by, at Col de la Chau, that the Memorial to the Resistance was erected in 1994 in memory of the Vercors Maquis.
