Congratulations to the builders, immense respect.

A surprising place... immense and imposing. The monks lived on the other side of the vast church. That part is gone, but the place still inspires silence.

Ride safely. Very pleasant.

The church of Mont-Rôty, from the 17th and 18th centuries, is dedicated to Saint Madeleine, symbol of the repentant sinner. Its porch is made of brick and its nave is made of brick and flint. The bell tower has 3 bells and has a pointed spire like many in the Pays de Bray. Its apse and transept are made of brick and slate. Inside, it is the woodwork that catches the eye (Romanesque vault, benches, stalls, altarpiece, etc.).

The war memorial of François POMPON, the famous animal sculptor (born in Saulieu 1855-1933) represents a Latin cross and a Gallic rooster with open wings, elements sculpted from the same Burgundy stone. It is this monument that will save him from poverty and that will allow him in 1922 to create his polar bear and to be able to live from his sculpture. He had come to Cuy-Saint-Fiacre because he worked as a practitioner for René de Saint-Marceaux, after having been that of Rodin, of Camille Claudel. The monument is classified as a historical monument in 2022 and labeled as a rural heritage of departmental interest.

"Beau-voir", the town would be well named: "Beautiful to see". The existence of Beauvoir is drowned in the mists of time, certainly in the first centuries of our era. The "Boutonnière" of the Pays de Bray is a depression 2 to 15 km wide, bordered on each side by more or less marked escarpments (cuestas). Soil erosion is uneven. Some points of resistance have given rise to witness mounds. (The Monts de Sigy, Beauvoir en Lyons..) In this depression, slight undulations create a varied landscape, composed of hedgerow meadows, wetlands, cultivated fields and vast forest massifs. There are clayey soils, suitable for pastures for dairy cattle breeding. On the summits and plateaus, the soil is made up of clay and flint, while the lowest areas are dominated by meadows and forests. The soil is very humid, with a ferruginous subsoil (thermal springs) and iron ore, as well as colored clays (ceramics) and glass industry linked to the forest. In Beauvoir en Lyons, the mosaicist Milan Uzelac has perpetuated the glassmaking tradition on the orientation table. (Orientation table 6 on the Route des Paysages)

The Abbey dates back to the 5th century, the oldest buildings date from the 9th century. The place is magical
