Also of interest, I discovered the town of Notre Dame du Touchet. The following is a link on Wixpedia (in French)
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame-du-Touchet
Basically, it say that the name of the town was Touchet up until the 20th century when they added the Notre Dame onto it. Touchet came from the ancient French word "Tocha" meaning a forest(or woods) near a dwelling. There is an old Touchet Castle.
