  On 5 July 1940, Carl Einstein, nephew of the famous physicist Albert Einstein, committed suicide here. An anarchist veteran of the Spanish Civil War, he had been interned in France after the rebel Nationalist victory. Although he had escaped in the turmoil following the German invasion of France, he chose death as the solution to an impossible situation.
