Savianges

The landscape is mainly composed of grass pastures and a hill named "Le bois Rougeon" overlooking the village. The river Guye flows through from the north to the south. The main roads are connecting the village to Germagny to the south, Cersot to the north, and Fley to the east.

Savianges gets its name from Gallo-Roman villa, named "Savianga Villa",^[2] its existence has been documented from the year 840.^[3] A Roman road joining Autun to Mâcon via Saint-Gengoux,^[3] was passing through the land.

Savianges used to have 308 people in 1827, the number fell to 187 in 1901 and 73 in 2009.^[3] In 1870, François Dulac was Maire of Savianges and member of French Senate. As an architect, he built several schools and public buildings in Saône-et-Loire.^[4] At this period, Savianges had two schools: One public school built by Dulac and one Religious School (named Saint-Louis) build by Miss Julia de La Bussière for the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament of Autun.
