Back in World War II when France was invaded, several people were trained by the British and air-dropped back into occupied territory. Jean Moulin was one of them. This museum is dedicated to him and his efforts to free his countrymen.
The museum is on top of the Gare Montparnasse Train station which makes it very accessible. The Museum goes through the life of this resistance fighter from his actions during the invasion to when he was interrogated, tortured, and killed. It gives a great view of life in Paris during Wartime. Lest we forget.
The Museum is connected to the French Resistance Museum connected by a theater which gives perspective of the normal Frenchman in World War II. If you want to get an idea of how the War really was for those who lived under the thumb of Nazis, or understand what occupation of your country would be like, this is where you need to go. If you are a history buff, or a military enthusiast, you need to go her to see what underground war is like as well as fighting for your country when Democracy is gone.
