History
The commune was the site of a major battle Battle of Loigny-Poupry on Friday, December 2, 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War when a French force of about 300 soldiers under General Gaston De Sonis fought a Prussian force of almost 2000. The battle is commemorated by several monuments including a memorial chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart.

gollark: <@!665722810630406202> > how much are you willing to spend on new ones?I was just mentioning them because they seemed to spontaneously make quiet beeping noises, which was mildly weird. It seems to have stopped now. I'm not really looking to buy new headphones. Or, well, I actually was looking at getting a headset with a usable microphone thing, but that's unrelated.
gollark: The barometers probably aren't very *accurate*, generally.
gollark: I have an app which tells me which satellites it's using.
gollark: Yep!
