Place des Martyrs de l'Occupation Allemande

The Place des Martyrs de l'Occupation Allemande features a prominent stone memorial that breaks the line of the surrounding streetscape. It marks the site where, in August nineteen forty-four, German soldiers executed three members of the French Resistance just days before the liberation of Paris. These men were caught while transporting weapons to support the uprising. The local council renamed this square to keep their names public, ensuring that every pedestrian passes by the memory of their final stand in Clichy.
