Charente-Maritime

France

Charente-Maritime, a coastal department in southwest France, holds 65 Bunkabop connections with 2353 other places across 17 topics. Human occupation stretches back to the Lower Paleolithic: Acheulean bifaces found near the Seugne River and a Neanderthal skeleton at Saint-Césaire, dated to roughly 36,300 years ago, connect the department to broader prehistory. Its maritime economy, built on La Rochelle's port and the Corderie Royale rope works in Rochefort, draws strong overlaps with Paris, Italy, and Spain.
