Features: This is a village with only over 500 residents. From afar, it can be seen amidst lush trees, a church with twin and a cross standing side by side. Without any hustle and bustle, far removed from the mundane world, stands a towering symbol of "Free France" next to the church—the Loire Cross, perched atop a small hill at a height of 43 meters. It resembles a giant, bearing the sky on its back and standing firmly on the earth, silently and proudly overlooking all of humanity. At the corner of a small cemetery next to the church, there is a rectangular stone slab, less than a foot above the ground, inscribed with: "Charles de Gaulle (1980—1970)." Here lies the protagonist of this book, General de Gaulle.
