Hard to describe the feelings evoked by this preserved ruined village. Not your usual holiday venue but without doubt of of the most memorable. More

My friend and myself came to france especially to visit the old town at Oradour-sur-Glane. Most visitors travel by car to get there, but we caught the bus from Limoges. (Ligne 12, leaves from the back of the Train Station). The exhibition is fascinating - but ensure you pay the extra tw,o euros for the headsets, it is money well... More

Historical facts were a little disconcerting although it was sad to see how much life was lost in the 2nd WW just to make a point! More

as i am interested in WW2 history, this town cleaned up but left in its deserted state really takes you back in time the information on the events in Oradour comes in many languages, so you can picture the scene of that fateful day when it all happened.

The town remains as it was, after its citizens were rounded up and burned, along with its buildings, by the Germans during their occupation of France during WW II. Rusted cars and half-destroyed edifices, posted with modern signs bearing former occupants' names, bear witness to Nazi atrocity.

The remains of the buildings are all still there, just preserved enough to keep them safe from tumbling down. The various buildings have plaques marking the residences and various shops that formed part of this obviously lively town.... More

Its hard to describe but i feel everyone should visit this place to get a feel of who suffered and what went off there. It should be on the ciriculumn for UK kids it is for the French. Powerful, moving, sad but worth a visit. Speechless More

It's not a ' wow!' experience. Oradour-sur-Glane is a little town in the countryside. The Germans/Nazis have executed all the men in the village, driven the women and children into the church and set fire to church and the little village. The shells of the houses and church are still there, as a monument to the inhabitants, who were murdered... More
