Chasse-sur-Rhône Researchers Visit University Archives

In late October 2025, Raynor Library's Archival Collections was visited by a delegation from Chasse-sur-Rhône, France.  Chasse-sur-Rhône is the original home of the medieval St. Joan of Arc Chapel that now sits at the heart of Marquette University.

While in town to formalize a “friendship cities” declaration between Chasse-sur-Rhône and Milwaukee, the delegation pored over photographs, plans, and other documents relating to the chapel’s history that are preserved in the University Archives. The group included the town’s mayor, several high school students and two documentary filmmakers.

Read more about the group's visit to the Marquette campus and to Milwaukee in stories by Marquette Today and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, respectively.
