Visit the Martigues History Gallery to discover an exhibition about life in the American camp between 1944 and 1947.

Following the Allied landings and the Liberation of Provence, the American army established a vast logistical operation. The exhibition retraces life at the American camp in Calas between 1944 and 1947, through which nearly two million GIs and German prisoners of war passed.

This exhibition, conceived by the Cultural Heritage Division of the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolitan Area and awarded the "Mission Libération" label by the Ministry of the Armed Forces, is supplemented by archival material from Martigues.
