"From 1966 to 2005, I taught European Modern History (15th-19th centuries) at the Michel Montaigne Bordeaux University where I spent my entire career as an assistant, lecturer and professor and, from 1994 to 1999, as its President.
The several decades of teaching and research allowed me to meet many students.

This was the time when the Dordogne served as a commercial axis to transport goods and men from the Massif Central to Libourne and Bordeaux, before the maritime relay of boats and ships to Northern Europe and particularly to Great Britain.
My PhD thesis led to the writing in 2021 of my book titled "About A River and Its Riparians, the Dordogne People”.
