FFI Memorial in Draguinan outside of the Jean Moulin High school (named after the resistance leader in Paris).

Lez with FFI marked Citroen "Traction Avant" car. The flags are original and belonged to a local resistance leader.

Fantastic as usual! Wonder if that "beer can effect" requires this past summer's horrific Euro-heat?

I assume the vast majority of onlookers are locals, not tourists? Hard to tell from the Universal Summerwear. Quite a difference in reaction and memory from north to south.

Much appreciated!

Great photos Ade, looks like a good time was had by all. Nigel really got into the "liberator" mode, huh?
