[Rockhounds] Travelling to France

[Axel Emmermann]

Well, that's part of the problem... Never been groundbashing in France.
The other part is that I can't barely hold a hammer right now. Bad case of arthritis in my hammer-hand... 

Never say "Oooo... go put your pick into the ground HERE" to Dutch people. 
In Dutch slang pick means dick. You might get weird looks.

Nice Big List.  Very Big List.  Huge (sorry) List.

How about some nice "Oooo... go put your pick into the ground HERE" stuff?

Hi Gary,

Poitiers is in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine dept..
You should hit paydirt about everywhere you go 😉
Here's what Mindat has to say about what you can find there:

Hello all...

I'll be France from around 22 June to 10 July.  My wife wants to have some Quality Time with her daughter (and our new grandson!) down in Poitiers so it has been "suggested" that I go off somewhere and bang on rocks.  Go figure.  I'd love to go somewhere with someone and bang on rocks that have fluorite in 'em.  Anyone up for collecting?  I can take a train from Poitiers...  Failing that... any neat collecting spots near Poitiers?
Poitiers is around 350 km southwest of Paris.
