In June 1944 a famous battle between the German and US forces took place here in what became known as "Timmes Orchard". La Maison Timmes was used as a regional command post with the neighboring property also set up as a field hospital by the Americans when the area had been secured after numerous days of fighting. There are original US paratrooper foxholes and plaques placed in "The Orchard" with bullet marks still visible in parts of the external walls.
