A museum in the commune is devoted to the Resistance and the deportations of Jewish and political prisoners . A statue near the station commemorates the deportations to the concentration camps . The survivors of Operation Frankton , notable for their daring raid by canoe on the German U-boat base at Bordeaux , made their escape across country to a safe house at Ruffec just north of Angoulême . This is now the site of a shop featuring British goods . The Monument to the Resistance is in Chasseneuil to the east
