Saint-Pierre-le-Moutier ( French pronunciation: [s?? pj?? l? mutje] ) is a commune in the Nievre department in central France . [3] It was besieged during the Hundred Years' War .

Located between the Loire and Allier, the town has a rich and powerful history, but is a little forgotten today because of its "relative" road isolation and lack of tourist infrastructure. Saint-Pierre-le-Moutier is close to Magny-Cours and its racing circuit which hosted the Grand Prix de France Formula 1 from 1991 to 2008.

History [ edit ]

On November 4, 1422, the bailiwick of Saint-Pierre rendered a sentence, compelling the inhabitants of the land of Poussery at the end of Montaron to ensure the lookout and guard at the castle Poussery, as requested by the lord of the place: Gaucher Courvol. This bailiwick rendered to the son of the latter, Philibert de Courvol, another sentence on 25 March, 1451, authorizing him to pass the Ruaux stream in his meadow of Chaulgy. [4]

The city is stormed, then released by Joan of Arc on November 4, 1429. [5]

It was chief town of district from 1790 to 1795.

During the revolutionary period of the National Convention (1792-1795), the municipality provisionally bore the names of Brutus-la-Vallee, Brutus-le-Magnanime and Brutus-le-Moutier. [6]

Population [ edit ]

In 2017, the municipality had 1,956 inhabitants, a decrease of 1.6% from 2007.
