History

The village was founded as "Moenai" in 1100. Following the tradition, the chapel Notre-Dame-du-Vallet was built after the discovery of a statue; it was rebuilt in 16th century and again in 1862. The old village of Ternant, mentioned for the first time in 1100, was linked to Monnai.

In 2005, the "Carrefour des Cultures" 5-day international gathering occurred in Monnai.

gollark: If a thing works differently in real life to ingame, people frequently decide that the real-life version must be better, even though this is not necessarily the case because the setting is completely different.
gollark: But don't fall into the trap of blindly copying some real-life thing into Minecraft like *so many* people do with "OS"es.
gollark: I think what might work better is some sort of loan thing?
gollark: There are *shops* (and groups of shops) which do, but they're not organized like companies.
