On 19 July 1870, the Emperor Napoleon III declared war on Prussia. The battle of Binas occurred on 25 October 1870 which enlisted the irregular forces of the “Francs Tireurs de Saint-Denis”.
A war monument was built on the road to Autainville, bearing the following inscription: “Battle of 25 October 1870 to the Francs-Tireurs de St Denis (Seine & Marne) and their brothers in arms of the regular army who fell to defend the town of Binas, from the grateful inhabitants.”
THE VESTIGES OF A FORMER COMMANDERY IN THE HAMLET OF ABLAINVILLE
In the 12th century, the Saint Jean de Jérusalem Hospitallers established a hospital and built a chapel in Ablainville. This was one of the rare commanderies owned by the knights in the Beauce area.
Remains are still visible today, and in particular a beautiful Greek cross which recalls the knights’ oriental origins.
