I wouldn't say it was a whole day out as the park isn't that big, but you could definitely spend a few hours there, and there is also a swimming area for the babies and a bigger pool for the adults.

It is sobering, and while I have seen most of France from living there and my numerous visits, this place has stayed with me like no other. It's an important reminder that not too many years ago, in still Nazi occupied France, on June 10, 1944, to be exact, the Nazi's brought death and destruction to some 642 inhabitants, men, women and children living in an idyllic, small French village. The women and children were locked inside the church whilst the Nazi's looted the town. The men were led and lined up within barns and were machine gunned down, as told from a survivor, they aimed for mens' legs and then the Nazi's then burned the barns down along with the men. Six men managed to escape. After the massacre of the men, the Nazi's lit the church on fire where they had earlier rounded up the women and children, murdering all but one woman who managed to escape. Following the massacre, the Germans returned to complete their destruction of the village and it stands today, they way it did some 71 years ago. General Charles De Gaulle is the force behind the idea to leave the village as it was. It was he who wanted the village to stand today as it did post-massacere as a memorial to the fallen. In 1999, President Jaques Chirac dedicated the formal memorial. When you visit, walk through the streets of the burned out village. You will see the charred reminders inside the remainders of the homes of the families whose home were burned and their lives snuffed out; rusty bed frames, old stoves, teapots, etc. Please take the time to visit he official yet small memorial where you can silently weep over an exhibit of personal items gathered from the victims such as soot covered and melted timepieces and lockets. You'll notice the timepieces all stop at roughly the same time... I challenge you to leave with dry eyes. 2015 - Review # 100 Addendum: what kind of messed-up person thinks this review is funny?
