Along our way from Nice to Arles, we stopped in Draguignan for a visit to the Rhone American Cemetery. Established just days after Allied troops landed and began an offensive against the German Army in southern France and the Rhone Valley, the cemetery commemorates one of the important battles that followed the D-Day landings in Normandy. Today 861 American soldiers are buried at the memorial site which is a 12-acre siste near the city of Draguignan.
