      The Corps Franc de la Montagne was very active during the Second World War, many resistance fighters were killed by the German army or the French militia ...

      The Fontbruno monument is made up of a concrete obelisk more than 20 meters high, with arms at the top indicating places where the Black Mountain Franc Corps fought. In the lower part of the monument, a crypt has been built. It contains 13 sarcophagi containing the bodies of men killed in combat.

      Many commemorative crosses have been erected in the area.
