Trédudon resistance memorial

Tredudon France's first Resistance village. This village maintained from June 1940 to August 1944 a patch of Free France. As early as June 16, the PCF clandestine organization, led by Pierre Plassart stored British weapons here with the complicity and support of its entire population. Tredudon Le Moine will be at once an arms depot, a naked refuge for hunted Resistance fighters, a meeting place and a decision-making center for the national and regional leaders of the PCF.and regional leaders of the FTPF. That's why the national general staff awarded it the title of France's first Resistance village. The stele was inaugurated in 1947 by Professor Marcel Prenant, FTPF chief of staff, and regional leaders in the presence of all the department's Resistance fighters.
