Memorial Resistance Brigades Maures

This monument in the wine region above Saint-Tropez recalls the help that the Maures resistance groups received from local winegrowers and residents during the Second World War.

This text is applied to the plaque:

'Resistance et Brigades des Maures, 1940 15 aout 1944. Dans cette vallee de la ‘Berle’ les domaines vitricoles ‘Barbeyrolles’ et Les Jas furent un lieu essentiel de la Resistance du secteur Saint Tropez. Souvenir et reconnaissance a Mr. et Mme. Moulton donatien a Mme. Mouret et a tous ceux qui lutterent pour chasse l’occupant et reconquerir la liberte'

(Resistance and the Maures Brigades, 1940-August 15, 1944. In this Berle Valley, the Barbeyrolles and Les Jas wine estates were a key location for the Resistance in the Saint-Tropez sector. Memory and gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Moulton, Donatien, Mrs. Mouret, and all those who fought to drive out the occupier and regain freedom.)
