These images were taken in France at a place called Oradour s/ Glane. This village was destroyed by the Germans on 10th June 1944 killing nearly 700 inhabitants. The village has been left as it was after the clear up and remains a ghost town as a remembrance and can be visited. If you ever go to France you must go!!

I've heard about this but your pictures really capture the memorial nature of this place. Although time and weather have taken their toll it remains a sad reminder of what happened there
 
Very interesting Ghosthunter. I've heard of the memorial but never visited. Do you have complete freedom to walk around or are your movements restricted? Doesn't seem very crowded.

Thanks for sharing,
Gary
 
You have complete freedom to wander about as long as you want. It's also free which is nice. There is a museum that charges an entrance fee but we didn't go into it as it was mostly in French!
