The Plateau des Glières is a place of remembrance of the Resistance, with the National Monument for the Resistance, the Mémoire du Maquis visitor's centre and the historic discovery trail.
Situated at an altitude of 1,435 metres, the Plateau des Glières was chosen by the Allies as a parachuting site during the Second World War. From January to March 1944, 465 maquisards gathered there under the successive command of Lieutenant Tom Morel, then Captain Maurice Anjot, to receive weapons destined for the maquis in Haute-Savoie. On 26 March 1944, they faced a massive joint attack by Vichy and Wehrmacht forces. 129 maquisards and 20 local residents lost their lives, either killed in action, shot or deported. Most of them are buried at the Glières National Necropolis.

Exhibition - Esplanade du Monument
Celebrating the spirit of Les Glières. The National Monument to the Resistance
Built in 1973 on the initiative of the survivors of Les Glières and designed by the artist Emile Gilioli, the monument pays tribute to the 465 maquisards on the plateau and to the events of the winter of 1944. In his search for simple, uncluttered forms, the artist was able to capture the spirit of Les Glières while at the same time creating a work of art that speaks to the viewer.
This exhibition traces the history of the work, from its conception through to its completion.
Accompanying booklet available free of charge from the Mémoire du maquis reception building.
Free access
Visits and events for all ages are offered by the Department's team of cultural mediators.
