Enter through the main entrance, and go straight all the way to the back of the building. There will be a sign pointing left to go to the Crypt. Follow the signs and go down the staircase to the Crypt. In the Crypt, equal in size to the main hall above, though with space consumed by structural elements, you’ll see the tombs and memorials in various rooms branching out from the main hallway. Pierre Brossolette is located in an alcove with Germaine Tillion, Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz, and Jean Zay.
