Morvandiau village with its hamlets scattered in their respective clearings, Corancy retains some traces of a very ancient occupation.

At the Huis l'Abbé the memory of an agricultural and artisanal exploitation of Celtic and Gallo-Roman times remains. Some place names evoke the medieval conquest of the land: Les Issards or Ichards, witnesses of clearing; Les Chevannes, huts, settlements of agricultural settlers on the edge of the forest; Neuvelle, gains in agricultural land made until the 11th century.

Things to see and do

The chapel of Faubouloin: In the wood of Faubouloin in the North-East of the village, near the meeting of several streams, is the chapel of Our Lady of Grace, also called the chapel of Faubouloin or the chapel of the Ash. The chapel dates from the 11th century, remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Saint-Euphrone church, originally erected in the 11th century, dedicated to Saint Euphrone, then remodeled later.

The ports: The Port de l'Homme, on the Yonne, and the Grand Port, on the Oussière, are reminders of the existence of numerous floating "ports" in the heights of the Morvan. This is where logs were stored to be thrown into the river at the time of the flood.
