From meteorite to the Middle Ages: Rochechouart, France

A well-known name, but a lesser-known town. Rochechouart, on the western border of the Haute-Vienne department, is home to amazing history. Join me today as we explore its past and present, including the scientific study of the large meteorite that struck at this location hundreds of millions of years ago. A vibrant local culture with a mix of French and English speaking natives presents many opportunities for cultural exchanges and learning.
