LUSANGER COMMUNAL CEMETERY

Loire-Atlantique

France

GPS Coordinates: Latitude: 47.68444, Longitude: -1.5893


​Location Information

Lusanger is a rather isolated village and commune 32 miles (52 kilometres) north of Nantes and about 10 miles (17 kilometres) south-west of Châteaubriant. It lies on a secondary road from Treffieux (which is on the main Nantes-Châteaubriant road) to Sion. The most convenient centre is Nantes, which has a good train service to Châteaubriant, whence the journey is completed by taxi. The communal cemetery is 150 yards north of the church, on the road to Sion. West (left) of the entrance, towards the end of the main path and close to the boundary wall, is the joint grave of two airmen.
