She makes considerable great strides until 1900. One of the specialities of Andeville was the ranges.

The day before the release, whereas the retirement of German already started, a German soldier being made pass for a deserter succeeds in returning in contact with the local resistance network, attached to the marquis de Chambly. A few days later it succeeds in fleeing, and returns on August 27th, 1944, accompanied by a troop of S stationed not far from there. All the men of the villages are gathered. 16 of them will be denounced and shot on the spot. Parmis them it mayor, Small Georges. 2 commemorative plaques recall this painful episode to Andeville.
