Overview

The Monument to the Glory of the Resistance is a great work of Toulouse modernism. The entrance is symbolized by an amazing sculpture of metal tubes. This memorial evokes the Resistance and invites the visitor to a moment of reflection on the tragic events of the Second World War. The route, voluntarily made to mark the spirits, is a tunnel strewn with crypts that evoke the deportees, the shot... Step by step, we go underground, until we are released at the level of the Jardin des Plantes. Every year, on August 19, at 11 a.m., the sun shines on a plaque commemorating the liberation of Toulouse. This collective work of the Atelier des Architectes Associés (3A) is remarkable for its design, which combines architecture, sculpture and audiovisual.
