In 1961, this monument replaced a statue of a woman brandishing a sword, erected in 1949. Built with the help of the Rhine and Danube Association, it bears the number 1 because it was intended to be the starting point of a signposted route f

Stèle Fernand Bessy

Historic site and monument
Sainte-Maxime
This commemorative plaque was installed in memory of Fernand Bessy, a Maximois resident who died in tragic circumstances on 15 August 1944.

The young man lost his life under fire from a Thompson submachine gun, mistakenly discharged by an American commando who mistook him for a German soldier as he ran along the barrier wall of the ‘Pilon’ farm.

Monument aux Morts

Historic site and monument
Sainte-Maxime
The monument was originally erected on the Place des Aliziers, also known as the Place de l'Eglise, in accordance with a resolution passed by the town council on 14 February 1925. The names of the soldiers who fell in the First World War, from 1914 to 1918, were engraved on the monument.

Le Char Sherman

Historic site and monument
Sainte-Maxime
A vestige of the Allied landings, the metal structure of the Sherman tank has been rising out of the sand on La Nartelle beach after every major storm for decades.

In December 2011, for safety reasons, the town undertook to completely remove the American armoured unit from the sand and move it. The tank - which weighs around 30 tonnes - was then immersed for several weeks in the harbour to slow down the oxidation process, then cleaned and treated so that it could be displayed to the public.

La Chapelle de la Nartelle

Historic site and monument

The Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal chapel forms an ensemble with the independent sandstone staircase, which bridges the difference in level between Avenue Mireille and the median strip on which it is built.

A small oratory is built into the retaining wall, in sandstone like the six rows of rounded steps to the west, allowing the site to be used as a summer chapel.

The chapel itself is built of concrete. The rendering makes it impossible to tell whether it is reinforced concrete or concrete bloc
