As we mentioned, it took weeks for German resistance to be broken at Saint-Malo, and they dug in at this anti-aircraft bunker in the Cité d’Alet, set in the courtyard of a 17th-century fortress that had also been designed by Vauban.
Memorial 39/45 is an exhibition that recreates the war years in Saint-Malo, and is set in the vast bunker that measures more than 500 square metres, with three levels and ten rooms.
You’ll be thrown into this dark chapter of the city’s past with the help of authentic documents, weapons, uniforms and the specially-made historical film “The Battle of Saint-Malo”.
