Jean Bonnet

In the second half of the 17th century, Jean Bonnet was the most clearly identifiable Protestant pastor in Mizoën. He embodied the daily ministry that, in an isolated valley, counted as much as great theological debates. He participated in the management of the "Poor Funds," a sign that religious life was inseparable from an economy of survival and solidarity. After the prohibition of Reformed worship, he left the kingdom with his family, marking a total upheaval where one lost not only a profession but a country.
