Trévilly was a small village, also known as a commune, located in the central part of France. It was part of the Yonne department, which is a region in France called Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

On January 1, 2019, Trévilly joined with other nearby villages to form a new, larger commune called Guillon-Terre-Plaine. This means Trévilly is no longer a separate commune on its own.

The village was located at an elevation between 202 and 275 meters above sea level. It covered an area of about 6.86 square kilometers.

Where Was Trévilly?

Trévilly was located in the Yonne department. This department is found within the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. It is in the north-central part of the country. The village was near the town of Avallon.

What is a Commune?

In France, a commune is like a small town or village. It is the smallest unit of local government. Each commune has its own mayor and local council that manage things like schools, roads, and local services. Communes can be very small, like Trévilly was, or very large, like big cities.

Becoming Part of Guillon-Terre-Plaine

Sometimes, small communes decide to join together to form a new, larger commune. This happened to Trévilly on January 1, 2019. Trévilly merged with other villages to create Guillon-Terre-Plaine. This helps the villages work together more easily and share resources. Even though Trévilly is now part of a bigger commune, its history and identity are still important to the people who live there.
