Villedieu les Poêles , who would guess that in the small town, perpetuates to this day an industry that is almost a thousand years old, which made the renown of this medieval city ...
History tells us that in the XIIth century the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem established at " Siennêtre " the first commandery of their order which they called Villedieu ;
They encouraged with privileges the settlement of a colony of cooper workers hence the name of " Villedieu les Poêles"
