History

[edit]

On 31 July 1944, amid the Liberation of France during World War II and ahead of the general retreat of the occupying forces towards Germany, they bombed and burnt down the town as retaliation for French Resistance Maquis activities:

Of the 80 houses inhabited by 105 families, 62 were completely destroyed and 18 damaged. There was no longer any town hall, school, or post office.[3]
