    A center with a lot of good information about the time France was divided into Nazi occupied and “free” Vichy France. French, English and German information sheets are available.

    After the Nazi occupation of France, France was divided into an occupied part and a free part, bordered by the demarcation line. One of the 13 French departments crossed by the demarcation line between June 1940 and February 1943 was Saône-et-Loire.

    This demarcation line interpretation centre is unique in France. Here you can learn the history of the demarcation line established by the occupiers in France during the Second World War and the daily lives of people at that time.
