Villeneuve-la-Dondagre

Description: Villeneuve-la-Dondagre

A quintessential rural commune, Villeneuve-la-Dondagre is one of the 16 church towers dominating the Chéroy canton at 180 meters altitude. It includes several hamlets scattered around the village such as Petit and Grand Coru, La Chauvellerie, Étang Neuf, La Roserie, Haute Borne...

With 252 residents as of the last census in 2011, the commune has experienced steady growth over the past twenty years.

Covering 14.6 km², the area is mainly engaged in agricultural and artisanal activities.

Some traces of the past remain. Indeed, Villeneuve-la-Dondagre has a quality cultural heritage featuring a 12th-century church (rebuilt in 1769) dedicated to Saint-Loup, and two 19th-century elements: the washhouse, renovated in 2009, and the town hall along with the former school.

To complement, beautiful hiking trails (passing through the Grande Randonnée Pédestre (GRP) trail of the Bocage Gâtinais), horseback riding, or mountain biking allow you to enjoy the pleasantly varied landscape of the village.
