TOWN PRESENTATION

This village is located deep in a fertile valley watered by a small stream (of the Ru Vallan). At the site of a Roman villa were found the remains of an oven and statues that can be admired in the Archaeological Museum of Auxerre.

In the Middle Ages, the village had an important role: a castle (Castle Gaillard) protected the lands of the bishops of Auxerre incursions from the south, a provost dispensed justice and received sizes for the entire southern Auxerrois .


SIGHTSEEING

Built in 1854, the pond adjacent to the trough with water, is a marvel. This pond is impluvium consider a cloister whose columns are the solid wood beams supporting the roof. At center, a long pool of clear water. Basically, a noisy source runs down a narrow stone. Mrs. Odette Rose, a former teacher, wrote a remarkable poem on this subject, which is displayed at the bottom of the pool. She also wrote another poem on the nostalgic village life in early 20th century.

Opposite the church, the memorial bears two inscriptions engraved in stone: the south side? War to the war?, And the north side? Peace among all peoples?. In 1923, the municipality wanted to express his disgust at the war that had killed 23 children in the town. A lively controversy opposed the mayor and the prefect.

The church building is important. She collapsed twice: once in the 16th century, in circumstances still unknown today, and again in 1924. In 1989, a roof was rested on the ruins.

Very nice trail walk at the start of Gy
