Roger Bernard in Saint-Martin-de-Castillon, Vaucluse (84)

On the D33 heading north towards Viens, about one hundred metres after its junction with the D900, several hundreds metres from Céreste in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence but in fact only a few yards inside Vaucluse, is a monument to the poet Roger Bernard, who was killed here by the Gestapo on 22 June 1944 at the age of twenty-three. Included in the memorial are a few words from Anna Marly's 'Le Chant des partisants'.
