Mont Valérien

Mont Valérien is a high hill located just outside Paris, France, offering panoramic views of the city. Historically, it has served multiple purposes: as a strategic military lookout, a fortress, and later a memorial site. During World War II, it was used by the Germans as a prison and execution site for resistance fighters. Today, Mont Valérien is a significant memorial dedicated to those who fought and suffered during the war, featuring monuments, a chapel, and an open-air space honoring their sacrifice. It remains a symbol of French resilience and history.
