Valognes is a town in Normandy, northwestern France, in the Manche département.
Before the French Revolution, Valognes was the residence of more than a hundred families of distinguished birth and fortune, and was for a long time afterwards the home, en villégiature, of many of the old noblesse.
Little remains of Valognes' famous architectural heritage as many of the aristocratic mansions were reduced to rubble during the battle of Normandy.

 GREENPEACE FRANCE PROTESTORS ARRESTED DURING NIGHT OF ARMED PLUTONIUM TRANSPORTS
The action, which began on Saturday, was in protest against the imminent transport of plutonium/MOX fuel from Europe to Japan.
Since 1992 all nuclear transports to the Cherbourg civilian port have been via the Valognes rail depot, 40km from la Hague.
This is a company and an industry that has to operate under the cover of darkness because public exposure reveals their true sinister and illegitimate nature," said Yannick Rousselet of Greenpeace France.

 PLUTONIUM TRANSPORT: NEWS
Cogema's determination to ship plutonium to Japan, involves a complicated and secretive logistical operation for every cask of direct-use weapons material, even before the material is loaded on to the Pacific Teal transport ship.
Upon arrival at the Cogema railyard, near the town of Valognes, the casks are stored and eventually unloaded onto the rail carriages that will take them on the public rail track to the Port of Cherbourg, a journey of approximately 30km.
Given the level of security already involved in the past week, the attempt by Cogema and TEPCO to pretend that this plutonium is not a direct security and proliferation threat is not credible.
