CERIZAY

'Cerizay' is a commune in the Deux-Sèvres ''département'', Poitou-Charentes, France. It is twinned with Ongar in England.
The name Cerizay probably originated during the closing centuries of the Roman occupation. During the Middle Ages the old town centre was situated beside a feudal castle. The last two towers of the castle, along with its twelfth century chapel, were destroyed when the present (rather flamboyant) church was constructed in 1890.
The automotive coachbuilder firm Heuliez has it's main production plant on the outskirts of the town. They have been involved in the production of various niche models for the french car manufacturers. They are currently constructing the roof module for the Peugeot 206CC and the complete construction of the Opel/Vauxhall Tigra.
