The Grottes de Meschers are said to have been used by the Huguenots at a time when it was perilous to assemble in a house for preaching or psalm-singing. But it is also quite possible that they served as refuges as well to the Catholics, when the Calvinists had the upper hand; as, indeed, they had for long.
Meschers is a village in Charante Inferieure, lying in the lap of a chalk hill that extends to a bluff above the Gironde.
