Jeanne de Laval undoubtedly left her mark on the inhabitants of the Valley. For example, on 2 May 1471, she granted the inhabitants of the county of Beaufort, to which the parish of "Rouziers" belonged, the privilege of grazing their herds from the moment the first grass was cut for the king. To honour Jeanne de Laval, the municipal council decided to erect a statue in her honour in 1873. The statue is made of white marble from the Pyrenees. Triggered? Come and read the full story at Jeanne's feet. More information can be found on the information panel on site.

A fierce battle between the two armies follows for two days. The bridges of Rosiers and Gennes are blown up. On 20 June, French resistance breaks. Fifteen of the 325 French cadets were killed and buried in the shadow of the Saint-Eusèbe church in Gennes. You can read the full story on the bank.
