A commemorative ceremony was held in Villemoustaussou, Aude, on March 19, 2026, to mark the 64th anniversary of the ceasefire established by the Evian Accords, which ended the Algerian War. The event, organized by local authorities and veterans' associations, took place at the town's war memorial.
Officials, including Mayor Jean-François Saïz, laid wreaths and observed a moment of silence in memory of the soldiers and civilians who died during the conflict. The date of March 19 is recognized in France as the National Day of Remembrance for the victims of the Algerian War and the fighting in Morocco and Tunisia.
The annual commemoration serves to honor the memory of those lost and to reflect on the complex history of the period. Similar ceremonies were held across France, particularly in municipalities with monuments dedicated to the war.
