... From the stratigraphic analysis and the available dating, at least two periods of clusters of earthquakes are evident in western France: (1) at the onset of MIS 10, ~ 380 ka, and (2) at the onset of MIS8, ~ 280-265 ka (Fig. 3). No older or younger important deformations is evident, except some younger events in the Aquitaine during the Younger Dryas stade (Schneider et al., 2012). The second period (280-265 ka) is frequently associated with other potential paleoseismic events in western Europe. ...
... Comparable conditions certainly prevailed during earlier glacial cycles, also characterized by roughly similar climatic deterioration events (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2010). Although the historic seismicity of the study region remains low, a coseismic origin for some features cannot be ruled out as suggested by Schneider et al. (2012) for Larrousey (Plate IV). Since the origin of these deformations remains a matter of debate, they will not be used here for the purpose of palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. ...
