Place where Pompidou is buried

Created by Henri LEGOU in Le Mans in 1919, who, the same year, founded DRAGOR & ALMA (DRAGOR – bucket pump and ALMA – compressed air pump), DRAGOR pumps were installed on well sites or hand pumps because they were much less tiring and allowed them to reach depths of several dozen meters. They were driven by a crank, sometimes with an additional wheel on the opposite side. Unfortunately, few pumps today retain their wheel, but some still have their crank. They consist of a belt to which buckets are attached, driven by a pulley operated by the crank. The end of the pipe ends in a lion's head. They can be found in many French departments, but also in Algeria and Chad.

The commune of St Martin des Champs is home to a castle, the Château de Corbeville, built in the 16th century. This building belonged to Lord Lallemant Lecoq, and more recently to the couturier Jacques Fath (buried in the park in 1954) and the singer Gérard Lenorman.

Dating from the 18th century, it belongs to the simple type of barn church with its “Avrais” type bell tower with a slate roof.

Dating back to the 17th century, this beautiful property is nestled in a bucolic landscape. Documents attest to its authentication by King Louis Philippe in 1840. At the time, it belonged to Mahieu, a local lord. In the 19th century, there were no fewer than 31 flour mills, 3 tanning mills, and 1 oil mill along the Vaucouleurs River.
