French Military Cemetery of Gammarth
Opened on January 5, 1944, the French Military Cemetery of Gammarth is a solemn memorial site dedicated to French soldiers who died during major 20th-century conflicts: World War I, World War II, and the Indochina War. Located in the quiet coastal town of Gammarth, north of Tunis, the cemetery features meticulously arranged rows of white crosses and steles, each inscribed with the names and ranks of the fallen. A central monument honors their sacrifice, including a tribute to those whose remains were never recovered. This symbolic site stands as a testament to the shared history between France and Tunisia and offers a space for reflection on the tragedy of war.
