“Cobblestones whispering tales of courage.” This is Rue Victor Recourat in Le Perreux-sur-Marne. It’s more than just a street. It’s a tribute to a man who stood against tyranny. Rue Victor Recourat commemorates Victor Recourat, an electrician, trade unionist, and communist. He was a member of the French National Front in July 1941. Later, he took on the role of technical officer for the Francs-tireurs et partisans français (FTPF) in the northern Paris region. His duties involved repairing weapons, creating storage depots, and gathering intelligence. In October 1942, Recourat was arrested at his Enghien-les-Bains home. Police seized ammunition and documents about the Special Organization. Recourat stored weapons with Pierre Bolzer in a disused family vault in Épinay-sur-Seine’s cemetery. The cache included an assortment of firearms, ammunition, and explosives. Imprisoned and likely tortured, Recourat faced the Gross Paris tribunal in February 1943. Sentenced to death, he was executed at Mont-Valérien. His wife, Annette, was also arrested but later escaped. Victor Recourat was initially buried in Ivry-sur-Seine. He was later reburied in Le Perreux-sur-Marne’s military square. A street in this town now bears his name. Plaques in Enghien-les-Bains and at a power plant in Saint-Ouen honor his memory. Rue Victor Recourat stands as a quiet testament to his bravery. It’s a place to remember his sacrifice.
