Guest suilvenman Posted May 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) For many years, Rivesaltes in the Pyrénées Orientales near the Spanish border has been justifiably noted for its sweet white wine. Until very recently, the nearby Camp Joffre lay virtually unknown, if not ignored. It has a fascinating 20th Century history as an unwanted person dustbin and Auschwitz antechamber: Camp de Rivesaltes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Today, it is guarded by wind-turbines, now often driven by the dry, bone-chillingly glacial Tramontane which, over many decades of modern French history, would have blown through the barracks of this site.
