La Roque Saint-Christophe is a troglodyte fortress complex carved into the cliffs above the Vézère River in the Dordogne — occupied continuously from the Palaeolithic through the Hundred Years' War, when it served as a fortified refuge for thousands of inhabitants. The EuroSouvenir programme, launched by the European Central Bank's sanctioned collectors' framework, allows cultural sites across the eurozone to issue legal-tender zero-denomination notes as a revenue stream, with Oberthur Fiduciaire handling production under strict ECB design guidelines. The hologram strip is a genuine security element, not decorative — the notes share authentication infrastructure with circulating currency.
