Mémorial Départemental de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et pour la Paix

The Memorial is erected on the seafront, along the coastal path. It refers to various sequences of the Second World War that marked the Basque Country: the presence of a community of Basque refugees from Spain, occupation, the forbidden zone, escapes via the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the Spanish border, captivity of colonial troops, the bombing of Biarritz, the building of the fortifications of the Atlantic Wall, acts of Resistance, repression, deportations and persecutions.
