Presentation
On 16 August 2018, a new stele was inaugurated, in memory of three American pilots who fell in an air battle on 27 January 1944 on the heights of Pierrefeu-du-Var, and whose remains were discovered by a local man.
After a long and tedious search, the families of the three pilots have been found.
> Place Urbain Sénés
A new plaque also commemorates the 3rd US Division which liberated Pierrefeu on 16 August 1944.
