Joigny, Medieval commune in Yonne, France

Joigny sits at an elevation of 96 meters along the Yonne River, featuring stone buildings and fortification towers from different construction periods.

The settlement began as Joviniacum during Roman times when Flavius Jovinus, a prefect of the Roman militia, established a base in Gaul around 369.

The Church of Saint Jean contains a marble representation of the Holy Sepulchre from the 15th century, displaying regional religious art techniques.

The city hall at 3 quai du Premier-Dragons provides administrative services Monday through Saturday, with extended hours on Thursday until 6:30 PM.

A ladder fragment preserved in Saint Andre church commemorates the successful defense against English forces in 1429 during the Hundred Years War.
