Geography Location Chamboulive occupies a plateau bordered to the northwest by the Vézère river and notched by several streams, including the Madrange and the Rujoux, tributaries of the Vézère. The municipality covers 4,679 ha with a maximum elevation of 529 m in the Puy-Grand, while on the church square the height is 430 m. Population History The origin of the name is uncertain. One can, of course, cite the small people of the Camboleutheri, mentioned by Julius Caesar, but only the first part of the word appears legible with the term camb- i.e. the curve. This could lead to evoking a hilly country with multiple sources and fertile land... With the exception of the well-dilapidated oppidum of the Puy-Chalard, few archaeological finds (some polished stone objects, some sites occupied at the beginning of our era), attest to an ancient occupation of the soil. In the early Middle Ages ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uzerche
Uzerche (; oc, Usercha) is a commune in the Corrèze department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of central France. In 1787, the English writer Arthur Young described the town as "the pearl of the Limousin" because of its picturesque setting. Built on a defensible rocky outcrop in an oxbow of the river Vézère, and located at a medieval crossroads, Uzerche has a long cultural heritage. Under Pepin the Short, the city was the seat of an influential abbey and a seneschal. Uzerche still has many castles, hotels, and other buildings displaying turrets built by the Uzechoise nobility, thus adding weight to the saying "He who owns a house in Uzerche has a castle in the Limousin." In 1996 Uzerche was awarded "village étape" status and, since 2010, has been listed among the towns of France to be worthy of a "plus beaux détour". Name The name ''Uzerche'' may date as far back as Roman times. Taken by the Romans in 51 BC, it was the last place where the Gauls fought against Julius Ca ...

Gallo-Roman
Gallo-Roman culture was a consequence of the Romanization of Gauls under the rule of the Roman Empire. It was characterized by the Gaulish adoption or adaptation of Roman culture, language, morals and way of life in a uniquely Gaulish context. The well-studied meld of cultures in Gaul gives historians a model against which to compare and contrast parallel developments of Romanization in other, less-studied Roman provinces. ''Interpretatio romana'' offered Roman names for Gaulish deities such as the smith-god Gobannus, but of Celtic deities only the horse-patroness Epona penetrated Romanized cultures beyond the confines of Gaul. The barbarian invasions beginning in the late third century forced upon Gallo-Roman culture fundamental changes in politics, in the economic underpinning, in military organization. The Gothic settlement of 418 offered a double loyalty, as Western Roman authority disintegrated at Rome. The plight of the highly Romanized governing class is examined by ...

After a successful offensive by the French Resistance group ''Francs-tireur'' on 7 and 8 June 1944, the arrival of ''Das Reich'' troops forced the Maquis to flee the city of Tulle (department of Corrèze) in south-central France. On 9 June 1944, after arresting all men between the ages of sixteen and sixty, the ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) and ''Sicherheitsdienst'' (SD) men ordered 120 of the prisoners to be hanged, of whom 99 were actually hanged.
