"For us, it's very violent"

The one who is also at the head of the Memorial to Civilians in the Falaise War and of the 360 ​​° Cinema in Arromanches denounced a "perfectly unbearable" situation.

“For us, it's very violent.

Me, I have employees who, already after a month, have a lot of trouble with that.

We have always met unpleasant people.

But "collaborators" is new, "added Stéphane Grimaldi.

The Caen Memorial welcomes around 650,000 visitors each year.
