Tips from the Community
The grand lavoir-abreuvoir in Geneuille is a historical monument dating from the 19th century. It was built in 1829 and restored in 1876 by the architect Ducat. This lavoir-abreuvoir, located on the rue de l’Abreuvoir, is a covered washhouse with a large abreuvoir running along the facade. It has a large esplanade for easy access. The complex consists of a fountain, a washhouse and a abreuvoir, and is an important vestige of the social life and work of our ancestors. The water enters via a canal and is collected in a large space with a beautiful vaulted structure.

Village which dates back to Gaulle (Gallic burials have been unearthed there) and of which we also find traces under the Gallo-Roman Empire. There we find the source of the Colombine and some beautiful buildings, including the cemetery chapel (listed as a Historic Monument) and the Notre-Dame de Leffond Chapel which dates from the 13th century. However, the village is best known for its vineyards. In the Middle Ages, the wines of Gy and Charcenne were already exported and we found them on the tables of nobles in the 16th century. The Guillaume family has been cultivating vines there since 1732 and has developed a highly specialized nursery business since 1895, recognized worldwide. The 43 hectares of vines therefore produce wine, awarded several times, but also serve as a support for the multiplication of vine plants. They therefore cultivate other grape varieties than those necessary for their production. And if you want to accompany your wine with a cheese, head to the Millet cheese dairy to taste a Charcennais or an Ortolan.

The Oiselay family had owned a fortified castle here since the 11th century. Following its destruction, this imposing U-shaped castle was rebuilt. The round tower dates from the 15th century and the courtyard façade from 1570. New work then took place on the building during the first half of the 19th century. Following a marriage linking the Oiselay family to the Granvelle family, we find icons recalling this illustrious family which notably included the Keeper of the Seals of Charles V, a cardinal and an ambassador. Currently private property, unfortunately it cannot be visited.

It is called a castle but it is indeed a mansion dating from 1714 if we refer to its pediment Listed as a Historic Monument since 1996, it cannot be visited because it is private but inside, only its staircase remains original.
