Born of the Liberty Road - Le Cannet

    These monuments of the Voie de la Liberté (Road of Freedom) are located along the routes taken by the Allies in 1944 and 1945.

    This pole in Le Cannet was donated in honour of 50 years of liberation by the citizens of Lafayette, Louisiana in memory of the victims of the 1944 Southern French campaign.

    The inscription on the pole reads:

    'TO
    HONOUR THE MEMORY
    OF THOSE
    WHO FOUGHT
    FOR
    FREEDOM

    1944-1994'
