Exposition "Les Fresnois et la Légion d'honneur"

New exhibition at the Espace Culturel Coféa in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe: "Les Fresnois et la Légion d'honneur". This temporary exhibition highlights the varied and lively careers of Fresnois, both well-known and little-known, all of whom have been awarded France's highest honour for their civil or military commitment to serving the nation. Their exemplary careers embody the values of courage, dedication and merit, reminding us that national history is also shaped at local level. Free guided tours of the exhibition on 23/05 at 6.30pm and 8.30pm (duration: 45 minutes) as part of Museum Night. A free lecture entitled "Sarthe, Land of Legionnaires" by Pascal Lebrun, from the Société des Membres de la Légion d'Honneur (SMLH), will be held on Friday 29 May at 6.30pm at the Salle André Voisin in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe. In May and June: open on Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 2.30pm to 6pm. July and August: open every day from 2.30pm to 6pm. Free admission.
