Beautiful church in the village of Dixant, dating from the 9th century. Two additional bays were built in the 13th century with heads of figures on the capitals.

Founded in 1209 on the edge of the forest of Othe by the Order of Gramont, a religious community which had an important influence in the region, this priory was ruined by the Hundred Years War, but rebuilt at the beginning of the 16th century. The order was abolished in 1772 and the building sold for its stones during the French Revolution. Of the priory, all that remains today is the arcature of the facade as well as the ruins of the chapel and the priory dwelling. In the 19th century, there were still ribbed vaults, but they collapsed. The apse which had walls rising up to 4 m also collapsed during the winter of 1996-1997. It is a private property open to the public only on certain occasions such as heritage days. Difficult to see anything other than the facade visible from the road.

From this vantage point, you can see the bridge and the town of Joigny in all its glory, accentuated by the vineyards that surround you.
