Remembering the Armistice

Each year, Villefranche - as do most French towns and cities - remembers those who fought and suffered, and the many - especially - who died, in the First World War. 11 AM is the remembrance hour.

In Villefrancher this year, anyone who wants to join in that remembrance can start off at 9;30 AM at a memorial service at the church in the center of the old town of Villefranche, and then join others in walking up the hill to the main crossroad (octroi) of Villefranche on the low (Basse) Corniche for more at 10:40. The local musical group that performs at such events is called the "fanfare de Villefranche".
