Noyers (French pronunciation:[nwajɛʁ]; often referred to asNoyers-sur-Serein) is acommune in theYonnedepartment inBourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-centralFrance. It is a member ofLes Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) Association.
There are half-timbered houses, ashlars, pillars and pinnacles. There are many cobbled lanes and small squares made of chalky and granitic pavements. There are towers surrounded by the riverSerein loops. It has retained much of its medieval appearance with many buildings dating from the 16th century, and is a tourist destination with several restaurants, art galleries, a pottery and a museum. The centre is pedestrianised on Saturdays and Sundays in summer. The village also holds two large truffle fairs in November where locally picked fresh truffles are sold to buyers from throughout France and beyond.
The origins of Noyers are unclear. It was founded by the king ofSequani Gaul tribe, just before the Roman conquest, or by a contemporary of Julius Caesar called Lucidorius. He would have given the city its first name, Lucida.
Around and after the 12th century the city became the seat of the Miles family. At the end of the twelfth century,Hugues de Noyers, bishop ofAuxerre, built "one of the most famous castles of France". It was beleaguered by Blanche of Navarre's troops in 1217, but it did resist.
In 1419, at the end of the Miles dynasty, Noyers became the property of the dukes of Burgundy. Theprince of Condé became count of Noyers. He made a Huguenot place of the city and took refuge in it after the defeat of the Amboise conspiracy in 1568. ButCatherine de Médicis dislodged him and the garrison surrendered.
Later the castle was dismantled byKing Henry IV in 1599. After a long time of lethargy the city revived in 1710 when theduke of Luynes married the last descendant of theCondé family.[citation needed]
Wine andgrain trade were prosperous at Noyers. Many documents attest there were plenty of vines, walnut-trees and cherry-trees over the hills all around Noyers. Till the beginning of the twentieth century a great part of local craftsmen was represented by cartwrights, harness-makers, coopers, farriers and shoe makers. In 1861 there were 128 vine-growers and 25 tillage-farmers. As of the 21st century, they are not as many farmers.[citation needed]
On December 7, 1983,Duran Duran filmed the music video for their singleNew Moon On Monday within the city walls after dark. The town's historic streets have also been featured in several other films and TV series.[citation needed]
