    It is at the end of a climbing and winding road that we discover the small church of Saint-Yon, and its adjoining cemetery. Here rests, under an ancient mausoleum, Maurice MOREL (1885-1972), better known as the "King of the Hard End" in reference to the metal reinforcement he invented for safety shoes which made his fortune. .

        Right next to it is the small 12th century church situated at the top of a hillock; it is composed of a nave ending in a large niche where the altar is located. The entrance is a beautiful Gothic arched door with four small columns. Arched interior of ridges. (monumentum.fr/eglise-saint-yon-pa00088014.html)
