Triguères (French pronunciation: [tʁiɡɛʁ]) is a commune in the Loiret department in north-central France.
Standing on the path from Orléans to Troyes - a major road from prehistoric times until the beginning of 19th century -, Triguères has provided many important prehistoric, Celtic and Roman remnants of its rich past.
[4] Triguères is a choice candidate for being the Vellaunodunum mentioned by Julius Caesar's in Commentarii de Bello Gallico.
[4] Greater Triguères entirely disappeared in 451 when Attila passed through the valley, coming from Orléans which he failed to take (his first major drawback in his campaign) and on his way to a full defeat at the battle of the Catalaunian Plains.
[7] Saint Alpais of Cudot and his legend precede Triguères' rebuilding, along with the Christian expansion.
