Thank you very much for this ride. I just took inspiration from it for my Gravel outing. It’s really very nice and pretty. Be careful, the woods above Soucy are no longer accessible.

These two bridges connect to each other and link Isle d'Yonne to the town of Sens. A beautiful view of the city and the river is offered to you by crossing one and/or the other of these two bridges.

Saint Stephen “Saint-ETIENNE” is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and is also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church remembers him on Boxing Day, December 26th. When Stephen uttered his vision of the open heaven, "And being filled with the Holy Spirit, he looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant that that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

The Saint-Étienne de Sens cathedral, monumentally rebuilt in the 12th century on the site of an old church, is one of the first major buildings of Gothic architecture in Christianity with the Saint-Denis basilica, then an abbey church. The construction of this cathedral then testifies to the importance of both the archdiocese of Sens which included Paris in its territory, but also of the bailiwick of Sens which was the oldest and most extensive in France, with a wealth of city originating from trade between Paris, Burgundy and the Rhône valley. From 1166 to 1170, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury in conflict with the King of England Henry II, resided in Sens in a house near the Cathedral. An entire stained glass window recounts the end of his life, from his departure from Sens to his assassination by overzealous barons of the King of England. The marriage of Saint Louis with Marguerite de Provence was also celebrated in 1234 in this cathedral. It now sits in the heart of the pedestrian district of the town of Sens, in a town center which has been well developed and deserves a visit, because it is full of old buildings and small restaurants.

This is the first Gothic cathedral in France. Construction began in 1130. The asymmetrical facade is decorated with numerous statues. The interior of this important cathedral is a must-see. The high Gothic nave with the 2 side aisles and the artistically painted windows.

Small chapel from 1637 in the middle of the woods, with a pretty roof in glazed Burgundy tiles. This chapel, dedicated to Saint Léonard de Noblat, has recently been restored. Unfortunately, the calm is spoiled by the highway which passes about 100m away; it is invisible, but perfectly audible.

Very pretty washhouse, at the foot of the church in the center of the village. This wash house is double, with a building on each side of the body of water. The surroundings are equipped for a rest or a picnic in peace and shade.

This mill is on a reach adjacent to the Vanne. The small strip of land between the river and the reach forms like an island where the walk is very pleasant. There is also a laundry. The mill, which belongs to the City of Paris, operates an aqueduct lift pump.
