Who we are

Le Souvenir Français en Pologne carries on, on Polish soil, the work of Le Souvenir Français, whose purpose — since 1887 — has been to care for the graves of those who died for France, to watch over the monuments dedicated to them and to pass on their memory. In Poland this commitment takes on a particular meaning: the country preserves many cemeteries, graves and sites linked to the French presence, from the Napoleonic wars to the Second World War.

Run by volunteers, the association records and maintains these places, gathers archives and testimonies, and makes this shared history known to the public and to younger generations alike. The detailed chronology of its founding and milestones will be published shortly.
