Tips from the Community
"God loves every soul with an undying love. He approaches each one with repeated, unspeakably patient offers of redemption. Even a small sign of love is enough for him to forgive and redeem. Our dear departed ones lacked a life preserver for the body; but the spiritual life preserver was not lacking, the breath of God in which the soul can clothe itself in a tiny moment, much more quickly than the body could." (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

The war memorial of François POMPON, the famous animal sculptor (born in Saulieu 1855-1933) represents a Latin cross and a Gallic rooster with open wings, elements sculpted from the same Burgundy stone. It is this monument that will save him from poverty and that will allow him in 1922 to create his polar bear and to be able to live from his sculpture. He had come to Cuy-Saint-Fiacre because he worked as a practitioner for René de Saint-Marceaux, after having been that of Rodin, of Camille Claudel. The monument is classified as a historical monument in 2022 and labeled as a rural heritage of departmental interest.

17th century work of art registered as a Historic Monument. Here passed the chasse-marée! A legend comes from this bridge: "A local resident wanted to build a bridge there, but his resources did not allow him to carry out his project. One day when he was examining the place for the twentieth time, the devil appeared to him and offered to carry out the work in a single night, provided that the first person to cross the bridge would become the property of the builder. The deal was concluded and, the following night, Satan set to work. When the owner of the land where the work was being carried out heard the noise made by the devil's workers, he regretted the commitment he had made. Fortunately, a good thought came to him when he heard the crowing of his rooster announcing the arrival of day. At that moment, the work was nearing completion; Our man ran to the henhouse, grabbed the rooster and threw it on the bridge that had just been built, saying: "Satan, here is your reward!" The devil carried off the bird of Mars, gnashing his teeth, and since that time the bridge has been called the Cock Bridge." Abbé Decorde – 1856
