Ternuay-Melay-et-Saint-Hilaire
Encyclopedia
Ternuay-Melay-et-Saint-Hilaire is a commune
in the Haute-Saône
department in the region
of Franche-Comté
in eastern France
.
Ternuay lies on the D486 running north from Lure to le Tillot. Together with the villages of Melay and St Hilaire it forms a commune lying between that of Melisey and Sevrance (with its noted waterfalls). There is one restaurant (not visited by me), a branch of the post office by the bridge over the river Ognon, a mobile wood-fired pizza truck operates by the church regularly. The fountain serves sweet water from the source St Hilaire. Before you reach the end of the commune going north, there is a turn to the right marked Monument leading one up just over 3km to the site of a Nazi reprisal against resistance fighters during WW2 in which 5 locals were murdered and 10 houses burned. One burned farmhouse that was restored in 1955, neighbours the Old Schoolhouse where the resistance had been using when the murderous attack took place now known as "Folleterre" is the home of the Eurofaeries, and is owned by association les Amis de Folleterre. At the beginning of August a commemorative service is held, with a public Mass at the Monument. Regional senators attend from as far away as Epinal. The panorama view is superb.
