Located in the ancient center of Pernes-les-Fontaines since 2013 on the occasion of National Resistance Day, the place pays tribute to the resistance fighters of the territory through the various striking moments of this period.

Thus, historical documents and objects will guide the visit of the museum which recount the German occupation in Vaucluse, the creation by Gabriel Moutte of the local secret army resistance group by Gabriel Moutte, as well as that of the Maquis F.T.P.F.
