Bagatelle Maquis Memorial and Notre-Dame du Maquis Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

Maquis de Bagatelle was a resistance group that fought against the German occupation in Belgium during World War II. They had a secret landing site in the plaine Baleine, where they received weapons and supplies from the Allies. However, on June 7, 1944, they were betrayed and attacked by the SS, who killed 23 maquisards and captured 15. A monument has been erected in memory of the fallen in the forest of Vyle-et-Tharoul.
