Oradour-sur-Glane, Memorial village in Haute-Vienne, France
This preserved village features untouched ruins of buildings, vehicles, and personal belongings from 1944, situated 22 kilometers northwest of Limoges.
On June 10, 1944, German Waffen-SS troops executed 642 inhabitants, including 247 children, and burned the entire settlement during World War II.
The Centre de la Mémoire presents exhibitions, documents, and educational programs that explain the historical context and sequence of events of the massacre.
Visitors can explore the memorial site independently during opening hours, with guided tours available in multiple languages through advance reservation.
The ruins remain exactly as they were found after the 1944 tragedy, following President Charles de Gaulle's decision to preserve them as a national monument.
