Maison d’Izieu, Memorial to the Exterminated Jewish Children In the heart of the Bugey, in the South of the Ain department, the Maison d’Izieu is located only 35 minutes from Chambéry and Bourgoin-Jallieu, 1 hour from Lyon, Bourg-en-Bresse, Grenoble or Annecy. A unique place of remembrance in France and Europe, it is the first place in remembrance of the children in the Shoah established in France in 1994. The Maison d’Izieu was opened by Sabine and Miron Zlatin and welcomed more than a hundred Jewish children from May 1943 to April 1944 in order to help them escape anti-Semitic persecution. On the morning of 6th April 1944 the 44 children and 7 educators who were there were rounded up and deported under Klaus Barbie’s orders, one of the leaders of the Lyon Gestapo. Today it is a place of remembrance, education and life in order to understand crimes against humanity and to act against all forms of discrimination. The memorial and its permanent exhibition make a complex contemporary

A market with live fowl, meats, great cheeses, vegetables and flowers. Packed with people inspecting and buying all under a superb medieval roof - the Saturday market is absolutely great and appreciated by locals and visitors. Plenty of bars too with tables outside inviting for a rest and an apero.

This restored medieval village is well worth a visit if you're into history and architecture. The streets and lanes are all paved with cobblestones and most of the houses are built with stone. It's impossible to get lost as the main street is circular. It's based around a town square with a 200yo linden tree. And some nice restaurants. Take the time to visit the museum - only 5 euro - not least so you have the chance to climb the tower which gives great views over the village roofs and the surrounding countryside. It's one of those places where it's impossible to take a bad photo.

I think that this mansion is a very lovely building and a great architectural genius and a great place to visit and a very good place to learn about French history.
