La Rochefoucauld, Administrative commune in Charente, France.
La Rochefoucauld is a village in Charente that sits on elevated ground overlooking the Tardoire Valley. Located roughly 20 kilometers northeast of Angoulême, it serves as the administrative center for several nearby communes.
The area has been linked to the Foucauld family since the 11th century, when they established their presence and influence here. This early settlement formed the basis for the administrative structure that continues to shape the village today.
The settlement functions as a local hub where residents gather for everyday needs and services. The Rochefoucauld name connects to the noble family that has shaped the area for generations.
The village is easy to reach by car and sits on accessible, level terrain. There is a France Services office on site that provides assistance with administrative matters and local services during designated hours.
The village oversees a large territory encompassing roughly 16 connected communes under its administration. This makes it an important administrative hub for a fairly extensive area, though few visitors realize the scope of its jurisdiction.
