La Baume de Savoye - Grotte des Résistants

In 1943, Resistance networks organized themselves in preparation for the Allied landings. Under the command of Marceau Arnaud, a team was put in charge of receiving parachute drops of weapons and ammunition, which began in January 1944 around Brignoles. In Vins-sur-Caramy, equipment was stored in the Baume de Savoye cave, known as Grotte des Résistants.
After the Normandy landings, the occupying forces redoubled their efforts, stepping up searches. Weapons were moved, but the Germans arrested 4 men from the S.A.P. (Section Atterrissage et Parachutage). Taken in front of the empty cave, they refused to reveal where the weapons had been moved. They were shot on the spot, as recalled by the 4 steles erected in their memory.
