Tourism Corbigny

Corbigny in ancient times, could serve as a halt to the Gallic tribes.One of them we left the cemetery in the town hall today. The time passed. A Corbon, governor of the country seventh century, founded a "villa" on hauteurs.Riche area where the owner, assisted by his servants, had everything he needed to live in isolation.Corbon had a son, whom Abbot of Flavigny in Côte d'Or, planned to found a priory, a subsidiary of Flavigny. In talks Permissions royal foundations rise in 864 with a prior and twelve monks, is the rule, and under the control of the Abbot of Flavigny. Who says Abbey said relics. We brought from Touraine or Tournus, those of St. Leonard and turned Corbigny Corbegni-les-Saint-Léonard.Some miracles occurring point the way to Compostela, pilgrims flocked.The houses built around the abbey no longer sufficed. They crossed the Anguison beyond it was a swamp, you build the substructures required some houses downtown still have their foundation piles. The city began to exist and prosper. Who says comfort says rivalry. Large companies devastated, we had trouble with the Armagnacs - Corbigny Burgundians held for thinking he had to fortify. Fourteen rounds, five doors. What did not impress in 1563, the Protestants. Until the end of the century and beyond, they held the upper hand.People know, enlightened, they formed all of which were significant. These ancient times have left us some beautiful homes. Meanwhile, the abbey became royal past under the abbots commandataires, it went well until the Revolution. The last modification date of 1754. Thus over the centuries, separated by Anguison their fortifications facing the abbey and the city they shared fortunes and misfortunes. Today, there are more walls, the town is still there, alive. The abbey, like a tired old lady, contemplates some remnants of bygone days: three massive towers, those of the fifteenth, two round and one square that look back to everything and on the other side of the water, waiting patiently by saying that everything has an end.
