Culture and History
The Church of Saint-Blaise-et-Saint-Révérien stands in Villy-le-Moutier. It is an early Romanesque church that may date from the 10th or 11th century.
The church houses part of Saint Révérien’s skull in a gilded wooden reliquary.
The nave of Saint-Blaise-et-Saint-Révérien was renovated in the 15th or 16th century. Among other additions, this work included the present-day ceiling and two large windows.
A stone mill on the Meuzin belongs to Ferme Joigneault.
The stone washhouse also extends into the Meuzin with its supporting walls. Inside, there was a fireplace where washerwomen could warm themselves and boil their laundry.
On the route of a Roman road that connected Autun with Besançon, there is a paved ford crossing or a paved glacis dating from the Gallo-Roman period.
