In the beginning….

 

The origin of the name of the village is uncertain, there are several hypotheses:

-Frei: free

 Or

- Friche : fallow land in the middle of which we built the village

Or

-Frigea: goddess Scandinavian of the fertility and of springs.

This last hypothesis is elegant because Fry is a area where there are numerous springs.

 

On the tracks of past…

 

Fry is a very ancient parish because the worship of Saint-Cyr and Sainte Julitte who was practised, was propagated in France at the Gallo-Roman time.

 

M Pigeon, inventor of the lamp and of the spirit-stove who have his name, stayed at Fry (La Pigeonnière).
