Description

On the edge of the Beauce and Gâtinais regions, the village stretches along the left bank of the Rimarde, a small green river which, at its confluence with the Œuf a little downstream, gives rise to the Essonne. It is to the Celtic name of this river, Avara, that Yèvre-la-Ville owes its name, the oldest form of which was Evera Vico, "the village on the banks of the Avara".
This charming rural community is home to a magnificent Romanesque church dedicated to St Brigid, the patron saint of Ireland. It is particularly remarkable for its chevet, with its cul-de-four apse flanked by two apsidioles, dating from the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th centuries, as well as the choir surmounted by the Romanesque bell tower. It was redesigned in the 19th century and has a neo-Gothic entrance
