Avrilly is a French commune of the Allier department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of central France.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Avrillois or Avrilloises.^[1]

Geography

Avrilly is located 45 km (28 mi) north-east of Vichy and 10 km (6.2 mi) north-west of Marcigny. The eastern border of the commune is also the departmental border between Allier and Saône-et-Loire. Access to the commune is by road D989 from Neuilly-en-Donjon in the west which passes through the south of the commune and continues to Bourg-le-Comte. The D210 branches from the D169 in the north and passes down the eastern side of the commune through the village and continues south, changing to the D229 at the border, to join the D989 north-west of Bourg-le-Comte. The D265 connects the village to the D989 in the west of the commune. The D212 branches from the D989 in the west of the commune and goes north to Luneau. Apart from the village there are the hamlets of Les Raflots and Les Simonins in the west. There are some small scattered forests in the commune but it is mostly farmland.^[2]

The Loire river flows along the eastern border of the commune approximately forming the border as it flows north to join the Atlantic Ocean at Saint-Nazaire. The Canal de Roanne à Digoin also flows inside the eastern border parallel to the Loire. A number of streams rise in the commune and flow east to join the Loire forming many ponds.^[2]

History

In a papal bull dated April 1164 Pope Alexander III, from his refugee in France, confirmed the Abbey of Saint-Martin of Autun as patron of the Church of Avrilly.^[3] The Church was burned down on 15 August 1592. The monks also owned Rejus, a hamlet in Saint-Martin du Lac between the church and Champceau in the parish of Anzy-le-Duc.^[4]

Demography

In 2013 the commune had 142 inhabitants.^[7] The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.^{[Note 1]}

Notes and references

Notes

↑ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
