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.

The traces of the line, its surveillance, its influence on the economy, secret networks, smugglers, escape and German oppression are also the subject of the exhibition.

Museum opening hours: May 1 to September 30, every day except Thursday, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. October 1st to April 30th, Monday 2pm to 6pm, Wednesday 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 6pm, Friday 2pm to 6pm. Admission costs 3.50 euros. Admission is free for people under 16.
