Bugsy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Went out on the bike today, bit of a last minute decision. Original plan was just a quick blast with a coffee somewhere and then back home.Anyway, after a coffee in Ruffec I kept going when I saw a sign to Chasseneuil as I had heard of a memorial for the resistance fighters there. Well, it's a very impressive memorial and deeply saddening. I was the only visitor there and it was a strangly quiet place.Well worth a visit, details can be found here & hereGary.

socket Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Bugbear, Is that Chasseneuil sur Bonnieure dept 16 about 12 kilometre north of La Rochefoucauld ? I ask because i'm passing that way on Tuesday and thought i would stop and take a look , before pressing on to Cannock !!

Anton Redman Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 All of the route de Claude Bonnier is worth the trip. In contrast to the huge memorial the little roadside shrines that you see deeper in the Haute Vienne to Maitre XXX and two pupils massecre in 1944 are for me much sadder.
