A medieval place of worship that became a military fortress during the 19th century, Mont-Valérien was the main place where resistance fighters and hostages were executed in France by the German army during the Second World War. The multiplicity of the routes of the 1008 shot, allows us today to describe the diversity. After the war, the site was chosen to honour the memory of the dead for France from 1939 to 1945, and on June 18, 1960, General de Gaulle inaugurated the Memorial of Fighting France. These men, assassinated because they were resisters, hostages, Jews or communists are as many reminders to our history that naturally made this site the first of the High places of national memory of the Ministry of Armies, today managed by the National Board of Veterans and Victims of War.
Access
Le Mont Valérien est situé avenue du Professeur Léon Bernard, en face de la place de l'Abbé Franz Stock, à Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine). Le centre d'accueil n'est pas visible depuis la place. Se situant dans un renfoncement à gauche de la Croix de Lorraine, il est nécessaire de s'avancer jusqu'à elle pour le voir.
