France's first Gothic cathedral. A must-see monument.

A rather original historical site.

It's impossible not to stop! This half-timbered house is worth contemplating.

Numerous cafés and bakeries for a break in front of the cathedral

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.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now you, O Lord, are letting your servant depart in peace, as you said…” says the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used instead of the “war memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a monument has two important and at the same time eternal tasks: -1- To keep the memory of the suffering and horror of the war alive, -2- and to call for the lasting preservation of peace.

The town hall of Sens is a public building which houses the town hall and symbolizes the republican values of the town. It is also a historic monument that highlights the neo-Renaissance style and the artistic talents of different painters and sculptors.

At Square Jean Cousin, you can admire the statue of the famous Renaissance artist who worked for Sens Cathedral. The square is a pretty garden with mosaic flowerbeds, typical of the 19th century.
