The Royallieu-Compiègne was an internment and deportation camp located in the north of France in the city of Compiègne, open from June 1941 to August 1944.

[2] Before World War II, this site was home to French army barracks.

Previously, the site housed the signing of an armistice that displayed the victory of French forces in World War I on November 11, 1918.

Overwhelmingly the camp held resisters to Vichy France, the puppet government set up by Nazi supporters.

[4] As the site's memorial developed, it came to include a wall of names with those who were recorded as having been detained at the grounds as well as an escape route and a Garden of Remembrance.
