Magnificent Exterior Trompe l'oeil Gallery

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and that is how the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.

This castle has hosted filming of famous swashbuckling series: the first of Bernard Borderie's "Angélique Marquise des Anges" films, with Michèle Mercier, Robert Hossein, and Jean Rochefort, is among others filmed in the marvelous settings of the Château de Tanlay.

Originally a simple oratory of a pilgrim's house, it became, over time, the main church of Tonnerre. In the 11th century, the Hôtel-Dieu Notre-Dame was a modest house welcoming pilgrims on the route to Saint-Jacques. It has a small chapel dedicated to Mary. Over the centuries, the oratory grew and gained in importance. It became a cure, a parish then a deanery. It was in the 16th and 17th centuries that the monument took on the face we know with its high tower topped with the inscriptions "Jesus Maria Ave Gracia", and the initials CHC, for Charles Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre and great patron.

We enjoyed a remarkable guided tour.

It has, among its furniture, a shrine which contains relics of Saint Thierry from the Saint-Michel de Tonnerre abbey, a statuette of Saint Eloi from the 15th century, a painting commemorating the deaths of the epidemic of 1632. It represents Charles-Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre, interceding with Saint Roch on the occasion of the plague epidemic; Saint Roch is seated, an angel stands at his side and a dog brings him bread. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Notre-Dame_de_Tonnerre

The Dionne pit is a karst source called the Vauclusian source, located in the city center of Tonnerre. It is fed by the infiltration of precipitation into the surrounding limestone plateau as well as by the losses of at least one river. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow and the size of its hydrogeological network which extends to more than 40 km. His presence is at the origin of the creation of the city of Tonnerre. An elaborate washhouse was built around the spring in the 18th century. Wikipedia

A real must-see - this round wash house around a turquoise green source is unique in its kind and well worth the detour.
