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!

A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.
