COMMEMORATION

The commemoration in honour of Marshal Lyautey (born in Nancy in 1854) is celebrated each year on Sunday around July 10 in Thorey-Lyautey, the village where he died. His life was exceptional: French soldier, officer during the colonial wars, first general resident of the French protectorate in Morocco in 1912, Minister of War during the First World War, then Marshal of France in 1921, academician and honorary president of the three federations of the Scouts de France.
