Allow time to understand the building's changing uses and the people confined there, rather than approaching it as a brief industrial heritage stop. Interpretation connects the camp's history with persecution, resistance and individual responsibility. The artistic activity of some internees adds another perspective on lives shaped by confinement. This is a deliberate journey to Les Milles, requiring both time and attention.
