Websites dealing with Oradour

The following websites either have a section dealing with Oradour or are good sources of background data or other useful material, including places to stay in the area. It often seems that these sites can become unavailable from time to time, if this proves to be the case, please let me know and I will amend the list, as I only want to show links to reliable material.

• AAARGH website. This site gives a very valuable review of the evidence offered at the trial in Bordeaux in 1953. (Please note that this site does seem to vary a bit and the Oradour section is not always there)
   
• Axis History Factbook. By: Marcus Wendal. This site is a compendium of data on all aspects of W.W.II
  
  
• Centre de la Mémoire. This is the official French national website for Oradour and it had French, English, German and Dutch sections when it first opened in December 2002. This website was often unavailable during 2005 and starting in January 2006 it underwent a complete revision with the new version being ready (in French only) from 1st February 2006. Be warned that this website seems to suffer from frequent downtime and it may not always be available, why this should be I do not know.

• Das Reich. By: Dan Reinbold. This site is specifically concerned with the Das Reich Division and has an Oradour section.
   
• SS-Officer Research. By: Bernie Brule. This site specialises in carrying out research of individual SS-Officers and the collecting of SS memorabilia.
  
  
• Paula Wolf / Hitler. This small website gives more information about Hitler's sister than is contained here. It is not directly concerned with the Oradour story, but is included for interest.
   
• The Georges Guingouin Resource Website. This website deals with the life and career of Georges Guingouin, the FTP resistance leader.
   
• WWII Newsgroup often dealing with Oradour This and other Newsgroups are places of discussion and for interchange of ideas on WWII matters. Newsgroups are useful things and unlike Forums you do not have to join them and / or complete any form of site registration in order to be able to use them. For this link to work you will need to have a suitable Newsgroup reader installed on your machine (such as Outlook Express).

Accommodation in the area

The following list of accommodation near to Oradour-sur-Glane is shown for the benefit of those folk wishing to stay in the area. The only place that I have personally sampled has been the Hotel de la Glane in 1998 and which is part of the Logis de France chain.

• Logis de France. This is the website for the inexpensive hotel group that covers all France (except for Paris). You can book online and the service is recommended by myself as both good and convenient.
   
• Le Moulin de la Plaine. This is a Gite, run by a British family that is located near to Oradour and would make a convenient place to stay. I have not personally tried or visited the accommodation.
   
• Courtanne Gites. These are a group of Gites run by a British family and located about 60 miles from Oradour. I have not personally tried or visited the accommodation.
   
• Les Marronniers (The Chestnut Trees). This is a Gites complex in the Creuse run by a British family and it is within about 90 minutes drive of Oradour. I have not personally tried or visited the accommodation.
   
• Fleur De Lys. This is a Bed and Breakfast establishment run by a British family and is located at Ansac sur Vienne, about 30 minutes away from Oradour by car. I have not personally tried or visited the accommodation.
   
• Auberge des Tilleuls. This is an Auberge run by a British family and is located in Oradour-sur-Vayres. It is about 30 minutes by car from Limoges airport and about the same from Oradour-sur-Glane. I have not personally tried or visited the accommodation.

Caravan and camp sites in the area

• Camping des Alouttes This is a pleasant rural caravan / motorcaravan site that I have stayed at in 2003. The website has English, French and Dutch sections.
   

• Apart from Camping des Alouttes, have a look at 'How to get there and places to stay' for more camp sites in the area.
