THE SACRED HEART OF THE MONTHARD MOUND

Following the attack and the attack on the Gérarderie, a week after the landing of June 6, 1944, the inhabitants of Lignières-Orgères feared bloody reprisals. The parish priest, Father Beucher, wished that if the village was spared a statue of the Sacred Heart. What he did. The butt of Monthard with 360 m high welcomes the white statue the arms of the cross, itself 10 m high, which was blessed by the Bishop of Laval in 1948. From this lookout, located on one of the 7 trails of Lignières-Orgères, the view on the Mayenne is admirable. An orientation table helps to find out. Picnic area.
