Historical reenactment in Gourdon

Overview

The village of Gourdon hosted a three-day historical reenactment organized by the Pouilloux-based Historic association. The event aimed to depict French village life during the 1944 German occupation to foster historical memory through a “pedagogical experience”.

The program included over 400 students from nine schools participating in an immersive environment featuring a German camp with a field hospital, a French camp, and a Maquis resistance camp. Approximately 130 reenactors in period clothing and 50 vintage vehicles, such as jeeps and motorcycles, were utilized to illustrate the living conditions of the resistance and the role of the SAS.
