Information

Description

Over the centuries, almost all names of Occitan origin have been Frenchified, sometimes cutting them off from their roots and stripping them of their meaning.
This exhibition offers a stroll through some common place names in Drôme and Ardèche.
They may seem familiar, but do you know what they mean?

Opening

Open from September 30 to November 3rd, 2025, during media library opening hours.
