Theuley: Church, Jules Rimet and seasonal farm shop

If you’re looking for a hotel in Theuley, start by considering what you’d like to shape your stay: local history, a seasonal activity or regional produce. Specific points of interest include Église Saint-Léger and Jules Rimet, as well as the pond and the farm shop. Their time frames differ: some take you back through the area’s history, while others depend on the season and day of the week.

Église Saint-Léger and its roof

Église Saint-Léger was rebuilt in the 19th century and still has a bell tower roof in the style of an 18th-century imperial roof. The dates refer to different aspects: the 19th century marks the rebuilding, while the 18th century refers to the roof’s style. The church thus brings together a later structural renovation and an older design motif. If you’re interested in architectural history, the bell tower roof offers a specific detail alongside the date of the rebuilding.

Jules Rimet and the memorial

Jules Rimet was born in Theuley on 24 October 1873 and founded the FIFA World Cup. A memorial dedicated to him was erected in the town centre near the church in 1998. His birthplace, historical role and memorial provide different points of reference: the date 1873 marks his birth, the founding of the World Cup reflects his role in football history, and 1998 is the year the memorial was erected. Together, Rimet’s local connection and the later tribute to him provide a cultural and historical point of reference in Theuley.

Theuley on the Boucle Jules Rimet route

Theuley is listed as one of the villages on the route map for the Boucle Jules Rimet. If you’re considering the route as the basis for a cycling trip, check the route details before setting off. This will help you plan around the specific information provided about the route.

Fishing at the pond

The fishing season at the pond in Theuley starts around April each year, and fish are stocked. This approximate start of the season does not indicate a fixed calendar date. So if you’re planning a fishing trip, check the specific dates before travelling. April serves as a general indication of timing, but you shouldn’t assume there’s a particular start date.

Seasonal farm shop

La Ferme des Prés sells directly from the farm on Thursdays during the season. Its products include fruit, vegetables and eggs; the farm also holds the French Agriculture Biologique label. The farm shop is therefore a seasonal point of interest, distinct in timing from the cultural and historical attractions. If you’d like to include a visit in your plans, check the current opening date and selection in advance: the availability of individual products may change.

From the washhouse to the Gourgeonne

The water flowing out of the La Fontaine-Abreuvoir et le Lavoir washhouse forms a small stream. This feeds the Gourgeonne, a tributary of the Saône. The sequence from the washhouse to the small stream, then the Gourgeonne and finally the Saône, offers a specific insight into the watercourse connected to the washhouse.
