The Airvault national cemetery holds the remains of soldiers who died for France during their internment at Fronstalag 231. This cemetery, which was created in 1945, contains 26 graves of colonial prisoners whose bodies were discovered at the site of the former Véluché camp at the time of the Liberation. A stone stele serves as a reminder of the origins of this cemetery, which was built by Souvenir Français (the French remembrance society) with the help of the local population.
