FLAVIGNY

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 484 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLAVIGNY , a town of eastern
France
 , in the department of Cote-d'Or, situated on a promontory overlooking the river Ozerain, 33 M. W.N.W. of
Dijon
  by road. Pop. (1906) 725. Among its antiquities are the remains of an abbey of the 8th
century
 , which has been rebuilt as a factory for the manufacture of
anise
 , an industry connected with the town as early as the 17th
century
 . There is also a
church
  of the 13th and 15th centuries, containing carved stalls (15th century) and a fine rood-screen (early 16th century). A Dominican convent, some old houses and ancient gateways are also of
interest
 . About 3 M. north-west of Flavigny rises Mont Auxois, the probable site of the ancient Alesia, where Caesar in A.D. 52 defeated the Gallic chieftain Vercingetorix, to whom a statue has been erected on the summit of the height. Numerous remains of the Gallo-Roman period have been discovered on the hill.
