Mlle. Vandendriessche was a waitress at the Restaurant de la Paix. She claims to have sheltered Conrad Lafleur at 150 rue de Vesle, Reims for 8 days from about 20 December 1943 and provided him with the necessary clothes to help him escape. However, Gilberte Rochette states that Lafleur only went there on the night of 29-30 December, after the incident at rue Lesage. Lafleur writes that after learning of Rochette's arrest, through Mlle. Vandendriessche, on the morning of 30 December he decided to leave immediately for Amiens.
Mlle. Vandendriessche was arrested & on 9 June 1944 was deported to Sarrebrück Neue Bremm, then transferred to Ravensbrück. She was repatriated on 2 July 1945.
