Relics of the War in the Loire Valley


In quiet corners of the Loire Valley there are reminders of the Second World War. Walk in the forest and you might find the grave of a Resistance fighter, or the wreck of a vehicle abandoned or destroyed during the summer of 1944. We recognise that the history of the Loire Valley is not just about 16th century chateaux, but is full of fascinating stories right up to the present day.
