History
Vézénobres is a medieval town that is known for the intense religious wars that lasted a few centuries. It was home to many Protestant leaders, namely, those who were directly involved in the Carmisard wars. Eventually the Catholic Dragoons invaded and killed all of them and they were buried in the walls of their own houses.

gollark: Maybe make Donald Trump say weird but in-character things which he won't deny later for fear of looking stupid.
gollark: Oh, that's fun too.
gollark: If I found such an exploit and wanted to do moderately evil things, I would probably try and subtly influence Twitter's hive mind by fiddling with likes and such.
gollark: Is 100 kiloeuros "set for life" money, though?
