The fighting around Montauban is often neglected in the mythology of the battle because it doesn't fit in with the story of costly failure which was an element of the attack in most other places.
As the battle engulfed Montauban quickly and moved on beyond the village, there is not much visible evidence in the surrounding fields to help the visitor locate his or her position.
