Comprising a "V" for victory, a Lorraine cross and two women embodying Liberty, the monument commemorates the liberation of the town on August 20 and 21, 1944 by B army troops and the FFI .
Inaugurated in 1946, the Hyères Liberation Memorial was designed by Raymond Vaillant, the town's architect at the time. The whiteness of the limestone and ashlar still gives it a dazzling presence today. This beautiful allegory honors the pivotal moments in history that liberated Provence from the Nazi yoke.
The composition incorporates the symbols of Free France: the Cross of Lorraine and the "V" of victory, icons of rallying against occupation and the Vichy regime.
