History
The 14th of July… but why, exactly?
Why is the 14th of July France's national holiday? Behind the fireworks lie two anniversaries — the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération in 1790 — which the law of 6 July 1880 finally brought together.

Our village
Baon is a village in the Yonne department, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, located 14 km east of Tonnerre. Its 58 residents live on a territory of 8.57 km² of limestone plateaux, crossed by the Froides Fontaines stream.
The village is home to the Saint-Vallier church, a recently restored wash house, and the Baon marshland — a 21-hectare Natura 2000 site, listed for its wetland meadows and remarkable biodiversity.
