By means of several documentary sources, consulted and studied in several archives, we aim to reflect the situation lived by the inhabitants of the village during French occupation and how this fact affected their lives as regards both the constant deliveries to cater for the supplying needs of both sides, and the panic the population had to go through due to the presence of foreign troops, in times featured by shortage and penury, which forced some villagers to leave their homes
