In Saint-Pierre-du-Jonquet, the bodies of shot patriots were discovered between September and November 1944. The first was found in the woods at the beginning of September, then there were six new bodies, on September 17 in the muddy water of a bomb hole and twenty-one others on November 15, 1946.
A ceremony has been organized in Saint-Pierre-du-Jonquet since 1957 on the Sunday following November 11 in memory of "the 28 men, most of them resistance fighters, who found their death in a small wood in the village, an area prohibited by the Germans. In July 1944, probably the 14th, they were cowardly tortured, shot in the back of the head and thrown into a bomb hole. » 11 victims have not yet been identified.

Jonquet Castle

Highlight • Castle

This house was built in the middle of the 18th century for the Honfleur-based shipowner Leroi-Beaulieu. It has retained all of its interior arrangements and its mid-18th century decor: fireplaces, paneling, paving, and ceilings. The only development carried out in the 19th century is the billiard room, which has kept all of its 1818 wallpaper from the Dufour factory, representing the Holidays in Greece and the Olympic Games.
open to the public from July 3 to August 4 and from August 14 to September 1, every day from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. except Saturday and Sunday. Free visit of the gardens.
