Nous sommes le mardi cinq septembre

Camp de Septfonds 1939 - 1945  ( one of their photos)
La Retirada
Refugees leaving Spain in 1939 passing Cerbère on the coast in the South of France.
Many refugees meeting resistance in France. Some ending up here in a camp at Septfonds.
Now the Spanish who came then are so integrated, you notice the Spanish names but other than that these grandparents, familes and offspring are French.
Integration does happen and brings positive benefits.
