Route of the 2nd Armoured Division

The Route of the 2nd Armoured Division (French: Voie de la 2e Division Blindée) is a series of commemorative bollards marking the route taken by the French 2nd Armoured Division during the liberation of France in 1944. The route runs from Saint-Martin-de-Varreville on the English Channel coast, where the division landed in August 1944, to Strasbourg which was liberated by the division in November in completion of General Philippe Leclerc's Oath of Kufra. The scheme was set up in 2004 by the mayor of Saint-Martin and is now administered by the Leclerc Foundation. Individual municipalities apply to the foundation for permission to install bollards, and some 283 have been determined to be eligible to do so. Around 100 bollards have been installed so far.
