The Judes camp is a camp for refugees, internees and prisoners open from 1939 to 1945 and located in the hamlet of La Mounière. To pay tribute to the Spaniards and Jews interned here during the Second World War, the town of Septfonds has opened a House of Memories on the theme of the displacement of populations and the values of hospitality. The site is an opportunity to discover the sad history of the camp, but also that of the great figures of the town with the program an interesting scenographic space and two thematic routes on the millinery and on the memorial sites linked to the Judes camp.

While strolling through the town, you can discover an important religious heritage, with in particular the remains of the Saint-Marcel abbey, a 16th century Cistercian abbey, the Saint-Blaise de Septfonds church, the Notre -Lady of the Assumption of Lalande, the Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens church in Aliguières or the Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs sanctuary chapel in Septfonds.
