The Maquis de Saffré was one of the maquis groups of French resistance fighters active in the Loire-Atlantique region, in the triangle formed by the communes of Héric, Nort-sur-Erdre et Saffré. One of Germany's last operations, in June 1944, was the destruction of this maquis, where 350 poorly-equipped young resistance fighters ("maquisards") stood up to 2,500 Germans, before dispersing. 27 captured maquisards were shot on 29 June at La Bouvardière château.
