Before the war, Oradour-sur-Glane was a quiet, rural community in central France. In 1944, the village was left in ruins after German Waffen-SS troops massacred 642 men, women, and children before burning the village to the ground. Today, tourists can visit the old town of Oradour where crumbling walls, cars, and other household items have been left untouched for the last 74 years.

- (on the way to Limoges). Everyone should visit the Martyrs village, which has been left untouched as a memorial since the Nazis slaughtered the innocent inhabitants and then burnt down the whole village during the Second World War. They mistakenly thought it was a stronghold of the French Resistance. Combine with Chasseneuil monument to the Residtence

This entire village is a memorial to the 10th June 1944. Left as it was found after that day when 642 inhabitants were massacred.

The town of Oradour-sur-Glane is a 50 minute drive from Maison Vignoble. On the 10th of June 1944, when France was occupied by the Nazi's, 642 of its inhabitants including women and children were massacred by a Nazi Waffen-SS company and the town destroyed. A new town was built after the war, however the ruins have been kept as a permanent memorial and museum to the atrocity. Whilst it is a very powerful, thought provoking and emotional experience, the Centre de la Mémoire at Oradour-sur-Glane is without doubt worth a stop during your time visiting this area of France.
