A pleasant little provincial town on the banks of the river

The village appears for the first time, under the name of Campiniacus, in a manuscript of the 9th century on the list of parishes of the great archdeaconry of Sens, therefore dependent on the archbishopric. The land belonged to the important family of Barres, then passed at the end of the 15th century to the family of Bernard who built the neighboring castle. The parish church, placed under the patronage of Saint Martin, is a fairly imposing building, built on a slope in the middle of the square. It comprises a nave flanked by side aisles and preceded by a small late lean-to porch, a transept crossing completed by an arm to the north and leaning to the south on the large bell tower, and finally a pentagonal chevet.

Pont-sur-Yonne station is a French railway station on the Paris-Lyon to Marseille-Saint-Charles line, located near the city center, in the commune of Pont-sur-Yonne, in the Yonne department, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. It was put into service in 1849 by the French State. It is a station of the Société nationale des chemins de fer français (SNCF), served by TER Bourgogne-Franche-Comté trains.

The church of Pont sur Yonne can be said to be entirely Gothic and certainly one of the oldest Gothic churches in France, just as the cathedral of SENS, 10km from Pont, is the first Gothic cathedral ever built in France. They can both be dated to the same period of construction, namely the end of the 12th century, between 1162 and 1169.

Beautiful remains. But don't worry, the new bridge is very solid.

Spacious and practical room for a last-minute bivouac. Ask the priest to use it.

A pleasant place for a bike ride.
