History[]

Between January 29 and February 8, 1939, more than 2,800 Spanish refugees fleeing the collapse of the Spanish Republic in the face of Franco's troops arrived in the Loiret. Faced with inadequate infrastructure in Orléans, 46 rural reception centers were opened, including one in Beauchamps-sur-Huillard. The refugees, mainly women and children (the men were disarmed and held in the South of France), were subjected to strict quarantine, vaccinated, mail was limited, and supplies, although not very varied and cooked French-style, were nevertheless provided. Some of the refugees returned to Spain, encouraged by the French government, which facilitated the conditions of return, those who preferred to stay were grouped together at the Aydes glass factory camp in Fleury-les-Aubrais.
