Pierre Palué, born in 1920 in Bordeaux, settled in the Drôme because of hazard of WWII. Prisoner near Nantes, he was parked with 8,000 other men behind barbed wire in Châteaubriant, but had managed to escape with Dr. Lemonon disguised as a monk, who brought him to his family in Saint-Donat where Palué spent the dark years. There, he started to draw and paint.
