21 meters high, the Resistance Memorial overlooks the forests where the region's maquis were established. This place of memory has a crypt in which lie the bodies of the main leaders of the Charentais maquis. The National Necropolis extends around the Memorial over more than 2 ha. 2,026 resistance fighters or soldiers from the Second World War are buried there.

A beautiful place to pay tribute to the fighters of our region. I recommend stopping there and visiting the alcove in which Mr. Bonnier is buried
