Villeny, this small village in the heart of Sologne, whose name comes from the domain of the Gaul Villanius, will be the starting point of your walk. You will set off to discover tranquil forests as far as the eye can see, ponds populated by birds, heather moors... On the way, a short detour to the Maison du Cerf is a must to discover the educational museum dedicated to the "King of the forest". 41220 VILLENY

Yvoy, whose name (ivos = if) reveals its Gaulish origin, was built after Julius Caesar's conquest at the crossroads of two Roman roads and planted the first chestnut trees. Under the Merovingians around the year 500, money was minted there. Having become Christian around the 6th century, the village adopted Saint-Caprais as its patron. In the 11th century, Yvoy was a toll road crossing. Monks encouraged clearing and transformed the marshes into ponds. Under absolute monarchy, the wars of religion and great famines ruined the region. At the Revolution in 1790, the first municipal council was elected. In 1841, Yvoy, nicknamed the Galeux and famous for its chestnut trees, became Yvoy-le-Marron by decree of King Louis-Philippe. The reconstruction of the village, entirely in brick as it is seen today, dates from the 1850s-1860s. The Miberlan oak, known as the sorcerers' oak, and the Saint-Caprais fountain are magical places where a very Solognot mystery hovers in winter as in summer.
