Mairie Le Pavillon-Sainte-Julie

Le Pavillon-Sainte-Julie is located along one of the region's oldest Roman roads, linking Troyes to Beauvais, today known as route départementale 442;

The commune, surrounded by farmland, is only 16 km from the heart of Troyes to the northwest.

The village's name comes from the thyme (thymus serpyllum), a creeping thyme of the labiatae family, known in the langue d'oïl as "pouliot" or "poliet". Growing spontaneously in dry Champagne and much appreciated by sheep, its Champagne name was "pouillé" or "pouilleux" (which, according to H. Bourcelot, is the origin of Champagne Pouilleuse). Naturally, the place where the pouillé grew was called the "pouillon". For a long time, the lower-case "a" and "o" were confused, and it was common to say "je marchois" for "je marchais", or "françois" for "français". The same was true for "u" and "v", as numerous texts and engravings attest.
This common noun (le pouillon), originally used to evoke a sheep meadow of some kind, would later have been used to designate a specific place and thus become a proper noun: seeing its "o" transformed into an "a" and its "u" into a "v", capitalized like all proper nouns, keeping its article.
This is how we ended up in LE PAVILLON, a name that for a long time was used alone to designate our village.
To differentiate it from other villages bearing the same name, the council of the time chose, at its meeting of July 27, 1918, to add "Sainte Julie", in reference to the Sainte Julie estate, on the outskirts of the commune, thus giving the current name of LE PAVILLON SAINTE JULIE.

Although very much a rural community, the main activities of its inhabitants are centered on the urban area of Troyes.
