Ichy

And if we took a little walk to the borders of Beauce .....
80 km south of Paris, this small village living on agriculture has been mentioned from the 9th century in registers. Moreover, the origin of the name of the place can be traced to a 9th century Count of Gâtinais, Ipdiacus, or to the word isca, “place where walnut trees are grown”.

The Saint-Vincent church, dedicated to the Patron des Vignerons, is typical of this region of Gâtinais. However, it has a square bell tower located to the right of the choir, which is rare. Despite everything, it has a saddleback roof, characteristic of the Gâtinais. However, inside, the architectural layout lets in a lot of light, which sets it apart from other churches in the region.

In addition, walks are possible around and in the village. So you will probably notice the dovecote-porch visible from Obsonville Street. Indeed, this portal is that of an old stately home. He is said to have welcomed Charles IX for lunch in 1562, while traveling throughout the kingdom with his mother Catherine de Medici. The porch is now filled in and plastered with lime.
