Champ des Martyrs

Place of contemplation to remember and transmit. It is in this place, a former rubbish dump, that the corpses of the 99 hanged from Tulle were buried on June 9, 1944. Four months after the tragedy, the bodies of the martyrs were returned to the families, but the place of Ceuille was already inscribed in history.
The survivors of the tragedy wanted to materialize their desire to make this site a sacred space. In 1950, three stelae were inaugurated, bringing this place into the martyrology of the homeland. One of them bears the names of the 101 deportees who never returned from the death camps. 17 lecterns, placed along the hedge overlooking the Corrèze river, report on the events that led to the tragedy of June 9, 1944.
