Site-Mémorial du Camp des Milles

In the former tile factory in Les Milles, the Site-Mémorial explores the history of internment and deportation between 1939 and 1942. The visitor route combines historical, commemorative and reflective sections, linking knowledge of the past to the mechanisms that can lead to discrimination and violence. Allow around two and a half hours for your visit. Some exhibitions and outdoor areas are listed as free to access, while the main museum route requires a ticket. Guided tours are offered at weekends.
