Stonishing place. What starts as a refugee camp for Spaniards and Catalans becomes a concentration camp for Gipsy and Jewish from the rest of Europe on the latest 30's from last century. Walking around the debris pavillions and imagine what the people been thru keeps you speechless. Part of our history that needs to be remembered.

Such an emotional experience. Very efficiently organised and a lot of time & expense has gone into vivid displays that well explain that dark time in history. I just felt that explanations should also be in English not just for the benefit of visitors from the UK but many other nationalities whose first language is not French or Spanish. This is a must for those visiting the area
Hard to find but worth a visit to understand the history of this area and the treatment of refugees everywhere.
This memorial is an astonishing piece of architecture - making a poignant and worthwhile visit and ensuring that this terrible piece of history will not be forgotten.
Great place to find the true history of the region, country and people!
Interesting history of the Vichy period of French history The camp was used as a detention camp for French Jews, gypsy travellers, and later on Harkis from Algeria. New museum in 2015 Well organised and laid out Recommend for a rainy day
Unforgettable - go see it, an amazing lieu de memoire
