Valensole — Provence

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A French Mediterranean yard. Not a village exterior and not a likeness.

Overview

The birthplace is already on Villeneuve Pierre-Charles — French Admiral. Pierre-Charles Villeneuve was born 31 December 1763 at Valensole in Provence.¹

The Birthplace

This note covers that birthplace only. A house, a parish register, and a later memorial stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

The same Villeneuve note already records that he entered the Royal French Navy as a garde de la marine in 1778 at age fifteen. That sentence stays there. Burnham Thorpe — Norfolk Village is Nelson’s birthplace note. Hôtel de la Patrie — Rennes is the death-place note, not this village.²
