Hi Jan, thanks for your comments. The Museum is free to enter. My friends, Eric & Jean-Michel, have launched an appeal to extend the museum. It is housed in an old stone building which was onced used a wine or olive press. The local Mayor is backing the plan as it will prove to be a good thing for the town of Le Muy. The museum was ten years old last week and there was a special celebration. A temporary exhibition was held in the other part of the building which includes the tower. This was just about the resistance.


Cheers, Ade.
