Mémorial de la ferme de Richemont
Mémorial de la ferme de Richemont, War memorial in Saucats, France
The memorial features a 35-meter obelisk decorated with four sculptures representing Faith, Courage, Sacrifice, and Victory at its base.
On July 14, 1944, thirteen students from Lycée Montaigne lost their lives during a three-hour battle against German and French militia forces.
The monument stands as a testament to the French Resistance movement in southwestern France, commemorating fighters from Gironde, Landes, Lot-et-Garonne, and Pyrénées-Atlantiques departments.
The memorial site maintains regular visiting hours and offers unguided tours for visitors to explore the grounds and learn about its historical significance.
The memorial incorporates preserved ruins of the original Richemont farm where the battle occurred, maintaining physical elements of the historical site.
