A vibrant and heartfelt celebration...


The 80th anniversary of Le Mans' liberation was a vibrant and heartfelt celebration that took place from August 3 to 8, 2024. The city came alive with events that paid tribute to its World War II history and liberation, blending nostalgia with education. People got to explore historical exhibits, check out vintage military vehicles, and enjoy a swing ball that took everyone back to the 1940s. The whole week was filled with concerts, film screenings, and reenactments that really brought the past to life. It was a meaningful and memorable way for both locals and visitors to honor this significant moment in history, making sure the sacrifices of that time are not forgotten​.


Below are some photographs I took from the celebration when I attended on August 8th.
