Our subjects:

First, let's go back to the less known context and reality of this founding act of the French Resistance, with animations by Adel Gastel.

With whom de Gaulle and his British ally, Winston Churchill, it was only a small minority of French people who immediately took action, and crossed the Channel. But among those who joined London from June 19, are almost all able-bodied men from Ile de Sein in Brittany. The town will also be awarded the Liberation Cross. Florence Gaillard tells us more about these scouts of Free France. 

Our guests :

To learn more about the prestigious distinction that is the Liberation Cross and its laureates, we go to meet Vladimir Trouplin, historian and curator of the Museum of the Order of the Liberation, at the Hôtel National des Invalides.

We will also visit the districts of the Parisian resistance, twenty meters deep, with Sylvie Zaidman, co-curator of the exhibition "1940: Parisians in the exodus".
