The Cave of the Maquis

During the Second World War, the Dordogne valley was used as a hiding place by many resistance movements (Armée Secrète, F.T.P.F., etc.).  Known as the "Cave of the Maquis", this refuge is just a simple rock shelter. It was home to one of the first armed groups of the Francs Tirailleurs French Partisans, called Leopold Rechossière.
