TOWN PRESENTATION

This small town of 300 residents is named to mills that were installed on the banks of Ouanne.

From the 5th century to the Revolution, it was the property of the bishops of Auxerre.

In the 11th century, Hugh of Chalon divided his land Puisaye Mills and raised in fief of the barony of Toucy and in fief, and bishops.

Over time, these three manors, two have become firm while Pont-Marquis remained a castle.

Over time, on-Moulins Ouanne originally farming village, is experiencing economic diversification with presence of businesses and artisans.
