vignoux

HISTORY
Small village amid the vines, it take the name of Vinogilo since the XIth century. In 1316, an earthquake destroys the houses set up along Barangeon. The rebuilding of the habitat will be done around a relay of station, close to the ford of Barangeon, whose hamlet takes the name. In May 1491, on the "Bridge of Barangeon", happened the reconciliation between the duke of Orleans and his cousin the king Charles VIII . Two archeological sites are located in "Vernusse and the" Vieux Vignoux ". The castle of Blosset which is the old feudal castle of Bourdeille and the castle of Villemenard make it possible to recall the history of the village. Yèvre, Barangeon and Croulas cross the commune. Three mills are still standing up on their banks (Mills of Vernusse, Sein and the New Mill). The commune developed thanks to the boring of several roads and in particular of the main road 76.
