Maison Mère is a location in France that appears in AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. It is the home and base of operations of Power of the Living.
Pre-Apocalypse
Nothing is known of this location before the outbreak except that it once served as a military fort before opening to the public for tours.
Post-Apocalypse
After the outbreak, Fort de Cormeilles-en-Parisis was taken over by a political movement known as "Pouvoir Du Vivant" and the fort became its headquarters, known as the Maison Mère. The area was heavily secured by paramilitary forces known as Guerriers.
Season 1
"Paris Sera Toujours Paris"
Stéphane Codron meets the woman he was recruited to fight for, Genet, for the first time at her office in the Maison Mère. She is suspicious of him at first, but after he shows her a recording belonging to Daryl, they agree to work together on hunting him down. Stéphane is given a squad of Guerriers from Maison Mère to assist him with his efforts.
"Deux Amours"
A large crowd, including Quinn, Isabelle, Sylvie, Emile and Fallou, arrive for Genet's De Gaulle Day celebration. Genet reveals that she has captured Daryl and Laurent and that Anna Valery has exposed Quinn's role in their escape from the city. As a result, Genet has Quinn imprisoned and the Guerrier he bribed beaten to death.
During the celebration, Genet forces Laurent to stand at her side and sets Daryl up in a gladiator match against her Ampers.

"Vouloir, C'est Pouvoir"
Following the death of Genet, Maison Mère fell in a riot as the Power of the Living Guerriers, workers, and prisoners fell into chaos and fought each other, leaving the fortress in ruins and overrun with a herd while the surviving Guerriers looted it, taking much of it to the Demimonde.
During this time, Ash Patel visits Maison Mère, presumably in search of fuel, and becomes trapped in an SUV by the herd. Two of Ash's gas cans are taken as loot to the Demimonde where they're found by Daryl and Carol who return to Maison Mère in search of him, finding the place in ruins, abandoned, and overrun. Fighting through the herd to Ash, Daryl and Carol become trapped as well, but Daryl finds dart guns and Amper Serum in a case in the SUV which he uses to turn two zombified Guerriers into Ampers. The Ampers tear apart the other walkers before being put down by Carol, allowing the three to escape.
