Lyons-la-Forêt is a commune in the Eure department in Haute Normandie in north-western France. Because of its architecture which has been maintained as it was at the beginning of the 17th century, it is also a well-known landmark within the very distinct geophysical and geocultural entity that is the end of Vexin normand and the forest of Lyons around the town is the border with Pays de Bray known for its traditional bocage landscape of woods, orchards and cattle economy. ==Geography== Lyons-la-Forêt〔The city of Lyon, in France too, is sometimes written ''Lyons'' in English as well, but the writing and the pronunciation of /s/ is the result of a confusion with Lyons-la-Forêt. Lyon does not share the same etymology and is a former ''Lugdunu(m)'' that evolved step by step into Lyon.〕 is located from Rouen and from Gisors. Former name: Saint-Denis-en-Lyons. Lyons was originally the name of the forest < ''Licontio-/Ligontio-'', based probably on the Celtic root ''lic''/''lig'', that is to find also in the name of the stream running here: la Lieure < ''Licoris /Ligoris''. Same root as the River Loire < ''Liger'' and ''-ley'' in Beverley (Yorkshire) from Celtic '' *bibro''- '' *licos'' > Old English ''beofor'' beaver, '' *licc'' stream. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lyons-la-Forêt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
