The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne is almost the size of a cathedral, which is surprising in a small town of five thousand inhabitants. Its construction began in the 13th century and was not completed until the 16th with the addition of the façade and the first western bays. This last part was not vaulted until the 17th century.

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.

It is possible to go around this pond on foot (or by bike with thick tires). The water in the pond is overgrown, so swimming from shore can be difficult. Not far from there you will find picnic tables. There are no water activities on this pond.

The beginning of its construction was in the first quarter of the 13th century, around 1215. The church was then dedicated to the Virgin, like many in this period of great development of Marian worship. 71 m long, 19 m wide, and with a vault height of 22 m, the central nave without a transept is a fine example of the maturity of radiant Gothic. The very characteristic Renaissance facade is inspired in its lower part by the antique model of the triumphal arch with its three semi-circular portals. A detailed interior tour document is available in the building, open daily every afternoon from June to September. For exact opening hours, please call +33 3 58 15 60 02

Armeau is a small town of more than 700 people. Here, the Yonne looks more like a pond. On a nice summer day, swans will gracefully pass by, but they are not there in winter. Please do not give them bread or any other food.

The Salcys pond is a natural wetland of European interest located near the village of Gron. You can enjoy beautiful views of the pond, the Yonne river and the surrounding countryside. Along the route you will see a variety of habitats, such as woods, reeds and meadows with orchids. The pond is also a great place for bird watching, especially in winter. Don't forget to bring your binoculars and camera!

Nestled at the foot of the hills and along the Yonne, you can enjoy this peaceful section by the water.

At the top of the hill of Villecien is a magnificent castle hidden among the trees and its high walls. The chateau was recently the home of famed cookbook writer Anne Willan, but after she retired to California in 2017, the chateau was sold.
