Roger Thiberville, a 91-year-old meteorologist who passed away this summer, bequeathed €10 million to the village of Thiberville in Eure, a place he had never visited. The amount is five times the commune’s operational budget. The mayor plans to use the funds to build a home for people with reduced autonomy and create a public garden. This gift ensures a more secure future for the village’s 1,850 residents, with plans for a commemorative plaque in honor of Thiberville.
