Guided group tour of the Musée national Clemenceau-de Lattre | Pays de Fontenay-Vendée Tourist Office

In the footsteps of two great figures of the 20ᵉ century

In Mouilleron-Saint-Germain, you don’t contemplate history from a distance: you discover it, step by step. This tour takes you to the heart of a singular national museum, made up of two birthplaces just a few metres apart. On one side, Georges Clemenceau, architect of the 1918 Victory. On the other, Marshal Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, who signed the surrender on 8 May 1945.

Two major destinies of the 20ᵉ century, told through places that were once inhabited, everyday objects and embodied stories, in a typical village in the Vendée bocage.

The programme

Georges Clemenceau

The tour begins in the house where Clemenceau was born, now a contemporary museum. Archives, personal objects and scenographic displays retrace thepolitical and human journey of the man nicknamed ” the Tiger”. The garden extends the discovery and completes the visit.

Jean de Lattre de Tassigny

The house where Marshal de Lattre de Tassigny was born is just a short walk away. This 19ᵉ century bourgeois residence has preserved its furniture, decor and gardens. The tour immerses visitors in daily life and sheds light on the destiny of one of the major players in the Liberation.

One village, two major figures

Between the two houses, the visit takes on its full meaning: proximity of the places, crossed views on the 20ᵉ century and discovery of two figures who marked the history of France.
