Visited Centre Culturel De La Memoire Combattante De L’Aude in Carcassonne. A true gem of a museum in Rue Trivalle. Absolutely packed with information and exhibits including Carcassonne in World War II and the Resistance there. Curator/guide called David was accommodating, full of knowledge, very friendly and had time to talk to us personally and answer questions. So much to see and learn. Created in 1998 as a result of several war veterans associations. Entrance is free but donations welcomed. Provides an important narrative on Carcassonne’s recent history and a complete surprise to find it - it’s at 102 Rue Trivalle 11000 Carcassonne. Recommended. Well worth a visit. Thank you David. Museum open Mon to Fri 9am - 12pm 2pm -6pm. Closed at the weekend.

I was delighted to stumble across this museum on holiday as I love military history. Despite most of the information only being in French, we really enjoyed looking around as David, the curator, gave us an enthusiastic personal tour (which I believe he does for any visitors who would like one). The museum is full of interesting objects and uniforms etc, as well as providing some detail on Carcassonne in WW2.

Well worth a visit. I popped in just as it was closing. David, the Proprietor welcomed me in. It's a very interesting museum and I wish I had had more time. David is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. There's lots of interesting exhibits. David speaks good English but he let me practice my awful French. It was a treat to visit.

This museum is INCREDIBLE! An absolute MUST SEE! The curator couldn't be nicer, more knowledgeable or more passionate.He was also extremely kind to our son who uses a wheelchair. At least 10 out of 10 for David & his EXCEPTIONAL museum. Dolores & family, Ireland.

My best experience in Carcassonne - so much to see. The best thing about the museum is the originality of the exhibits. They tell their own story in a really moving and informative way. David was wonderful, and showed such great enthusiasm in chatting with us about the museum, and his inspiring generations of brave family members. We have so much to be thankful for in our free society, and let’s hope we of the 21st century don’t let those heroic men and women down.

This place is something special. Incredible range of historic artefacts from two world wars including the French resistance and the efforts of the French military. Some amazing art from a camp in Ukraine. David was a very special guy who knew so much about the sacrifices made by the French and many other countries to protect our freedom. Thank-you.
