Village of the Brie Champenoise.
The city name is common for new towns created in the 13th century. The addition of the "lion" is caused by the legend that a lord would have fought and captured a lion escaped from a cage, the villagers have added Recognition "lioness" in Villeneuve. This would have happened in the 16th century.
