3. The tree of freedom
Oradour-sur-GlaneOn the former church square of the Martyr Village of Oradour-sur-Glane stands an oak tree, a symbol of life in the midst of petrified horror. It was planted in 1848, at the advent of the Second Republic. On June 10, 1944, it was very lucky, as all around it houses were burning, and it bears no trace of them.
