Les Milles is a village, part of the commune of Aix-en-Provence, in southern France.
Camp des Milles was opened in September 1939 at a former tile factory in the village.[1] Originally a French internment camp to detain undesirable aliens, it was later used as a transit camp for Jews to be deported to extermination camps, mainly Auschwitz.
