A museum and depository of historical documents regarding the French resistance to Nazi occupation, of which Lyon played a central role.
Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Centre D'histoire De La Resistance Et De La Deportation is a must visit for anyone interested in the French Resistance or the Deportation of Jews, and WWII. It is a very moving "memorial" to that time of French history. If you don't speak French then you might consider using the audioguide. You might like to spend several hours inside the Museum.

The Historial du paysan soldat is a museum presenting the History of the First World War with the original choice of highlighting the rural France during this major conflict. Indeed, in 1914, 38% of the French population was working in agriculture. This part of the society was very touched by the war : as all men were fighting, women had to keep working in the family farm.
