The Town of Thuir invites its residents to join the commemoration of November 11th, a moment of remembrance and sharing in tribute to the soldiers who fell for France. The day will begin at 10:00 AM at the war memorial.
At 10:15 AM, the official ceremony will commence in the presence of authorities, a detachment of firefighters, and flag bearers. The morning will feature several significant moments, including readings by 3rd-grade students from Pierre Moreto college, the performance of the song 'Marie' by the Chœur de l’Aspre, and the reading of a message from the Minister Delegate for Veterans.

Wreaths will be laid before the plaque honoring Widows and Orphans Victims of Wars, and before the November 11th plaque. The ceremony will continue with a minute of silence, the sounding of the 'call to the dead,' and the Marseillaise performed by the brass band from the Thuir music school.
The procession will then proceed to the military cemetery for the flag ceremony and a wreath-laying, followed by a final tribute at the tomb of soldier Bachellerie. The commemoration will conclude at the MDC, Grégory hall, with an address by the Mayor, the presentation of diplomas and decorations, and a traditional 'vin d'honneur' (toast).
The municipality encourages all residents, whether long-time locals or recent arrivals, to participate as a mark of recognition for the veterans.
