Museum of the Resistance and Deportation of Isère
Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation de l'Isère
A free museum recounting the Resistance in Grenoble and the Vercors during World War II; Grenoble is known as the “Capital of the Resistance.”
Grenoble was awarded the Liberation Medal for its wartime Resistance. The museum uses documents, artifacts and multimedia displays to show urban life under occupation, the Resistance networks and the fates of deportees, making it a good place to understand the background of the Battle of the Vercors.
