Memorial "Camp Patton" Nehou

Near Néhou in an apple orchard, was in 1944 a camp where General Patton had his headquarters, this was before the outbreak of Normandy began.

Besides the road is a monument with a Sherman tank.
If you continue to walk into the orchard, you will find various panels which are worth reading about Patton's life and stay in Néhou.
In the very back are two monuments.
