aint Loup-de-Naud located near Provins, has a Romanesque church from the 11th and 12th centuries, considered one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in Île-de-France. It has a barrel-shaped nave and a portal in early Gothic style with a remarkable tympanum depicting Christ in majesty between the symbols of the evangelists. New for the time, statues of saints and prophets adorn the sides of the portal. No document allows us to precisely date the construction of the entire church. The portal would be from the second half of the 12th century (around 1160). The town is the seat of the Benedictine priory of Saint-Loup, the destination of an important pilgrimage in honor of the relics of Saint-Loup, bishop of Sens. The church was completed thanks to donations from Henry the Liberal, Count of Champagne. The priory was ruined by the English in 1432 and by the Protestants in 1567.

Medieval village near Provins. Recognized for its authenticity, the village of Donnemarie Dontilly is a village (or an association of two ancient cities) with numerous vestiges dating from the Middle Ages.

The chateau was built in 1760. Outside the perimeter you will see a rather impressive gate which still bears the coat of arms of the original owner and builder, Noël Jacques Michel de Brion.

Very nice point of view on the Yonne

This church, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, has a curious square bell tower flanked by large buttresses and a turret with loopholes. The very simple interior houses paintings and statues as well as a few stained glass windows.

The vast meander of the Yonne, the entrance to the Courlon diversion channel, the dam, opens up an unobstructed and refreshing view. The banks are equipped with picnic areas, play areas for children, lawns and tables. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courlon-sur-Yonne
