La Rochefoucauld (French pronunciation: ; Occitan: La Ròcha Focaud) is a former commune in the Charente department in southwestern France. On 1 January 2019, it was merged into the new commune La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois. It lies very close to the line which delineated occupied France and Vichy France during World War II. The village takes its name from the large chateau above the village, which is partially open to the public. It is also still inhabited by the Duke and Duchess. The site was first used around 980 by Fucaldus, younger brother of the Viscount of Limoges. Fucaldus set up a fortified camp on the rock and called it Fucaldus in rupe, or Foucald's Rock.
