Office de Tourisme Val de Gray
March 17, 2026, Valay

Valay – Did you know? The town's name comes from the Celtic words "Val," meaning iron, and "Aid," meaning abundance. Pieces made in Valay were used in the construction of the Grande Galerie at the 1889 Universal Exhibition. It's even rumored that Valay cast iron flows within the Eiffel Tower!

You can discover the remains of an old chapel with pointed arch windows. In the past, this place was a place of pilgrimage: visitors came to draw water from the nearby fountain, renowned for its beneficial properties which were said to cure blindness.

The ruins of the Sainte-Cécile hermitage date back to the end of the 12th century. A former dependency of the Knights Templar, the site retains traces of its original architecture, such as ogival windows.

In La Résie-Saint-Martin, you can still see traditional houses, wash houses, and elements related to agricultural life. The village also preserves its pottery heritage.

Valay boasts a distinctive architectural heritage: stone farms, old workshops, and wash houses. The town was also home to a major pottery factory in the 19th century, some of whose remains still exist.

Discover the river stopover where a ford once allowed you to cross the Saône. Today, boaters and cycle tourists enjoy this peaceful place. Remember to take a look at the 18th century castle without forgetting the Saint-Nicolas church built in the 12th century where a chapel dedicated to the sailors is present.
