Site Memorial du Camp des Milles, Aix-en-Provence

Definitely worth a visit, especially on a hot summer day. It is a fascinating place to see how history touched this small area. You are able to tour through the entire tile factory with plenty of information about France's role in the war. I particularly loved how blunt they were about the French government not helping. You will go through a well organised path and tour of the factory.

Great museum, especially since it's a former tile-factory. If you're looking for a half-day activity, and you are interested in World War II history, this is a must-visit. The museum tries to stimulate the visitor to reflect on what happened during WO2 and apply that to modern times. - There's a bus stop in front of the museum and a large parking lot as well - Museum is very rich in information, there's just so much to read and see - you're guided through the museum/factory with signs. - Audio guides are offered in French and English (€5 per person) - Information in the museum is written in French and English, except for films and audio pieces (just French) - If you'd read and go over everything, be prepared to spend around 3 hours here - Entrance is about €9.50 for adults - There are expositions at the end of the museum, that vary from time to time. - There's a vending machine with ice cold drinks and snacks at the end of the museum - Last but not least: on hot days, the museum is gonna be hot too -> there's no proper air conditioning in most parts of the factory.
