Céline Melisson

Porte vers le "Nouveau Monde", Rochefort a été dès le XVII^e siècle un arsenal aux multiples facettes, spécialisé dans les questions coloniales. Loin devant les autres, il apparaît comme un "arsenal-école" ou la "porte" menant aux emplois coloniaux.

THE ROCHEFORT MILITARY SUPPLY AUTHORITIES and the management of American Colonies between 1669 and 1712
by Céline Mélisson
