Welcome to Saint-Lyé !

Located about 11 km north of Troyes, the town of Saint-Lyé and its inhabitants called the “Lyotains” have all the ingredients to seduce you and make you spend a pleasant moment in this valley of the Seine river, near the biking trails by the Haute-Seine canal.

 

Saint-Lyé has a rich, fascinating and surprising history which you will discover through the questions of this game.

Do not hesitate to ask the local shopkeepers (bakers, cafés, etc.) as they are very welcoming, and you will notice how attached they are to their town (and it is understandable!).

If you wish to extend this experience by a walk starting from the church square, follow the yellow markers which will guide you through a 10 km walk between the canal (FR), the Seine and Barberey, while enjoying Mother Nature and serenity.

Enjoy the exploration, pay attention to the details, and good luck!

To begin this quiz, admire this beautiful square.
Stop for a moment in front of the town’s war memorial and its statue representing “the winged victory”. This goddess, dressed in a long Roman robe, holds out a laurel wreath, which is an emblem of victory.
She is supposed to offer it to the victor(s), in this case to France, the French and the Allies (you can find more explanations about the history of war memorials in the quiz on Montsuzain).
