This Romanesque church is definitely worth the detour!!! The banks of the Yonne are magnificent in this fall of 2023

And a great bike path!

When the Capetians came to the throne of France, the Sens region was drawn into the royal domain, while Joigny and Auxerre continued to depend on the Duke of Burgundy. It was at this time that Villeneuve, which had become an advanced bastion of Sens, made it possible to protect the limits of the royal domain. So that it can grow and strengthen itself, King Philippe Auguste grants it the privileges of a free city, then called "Villeneuve le Roy"; it was renamed Villeneuve sur Yonne during the French Revolution. The town retains many monuments testifying to this period marking its peak. Among these the two so-called gates of Sens (in the north) and Joigny (in the south) which are the only remaining ones of the fortified enclosures of the city, of which one can still find parts of the ramparts and identify the limits in the geographical layout. from the city. Among these remains is also the big Tower, which served as a dungeon. The imposing size of the Notre Dame de l'Assomption church also reflects the historical importance of the city, whose current population remains roughly equivalent to what it was at the end of the 18th century.

Also note that the banks of the Yonne are open to swimming during the summer. They are also an ideal place for a break.
