サン＝ジョルジュ＝シュル＝ボールシュのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This bunker of the Water Service of the City of Auxerre sits on this small hill before joining the city.

The 4-star Château de Montboulon is located 4 km from the historic center of Auxerre in a wine region of Burgundy. Magnificent 18th century property with all the comfort and modernity with a panoramic view of the Baulche Valley. The 320 m² property has 5 bedrooms and a private, paved courtyard with 6 parking spaces, closed by a gate, a heated swimming pool from May to mid-September, a jacuzzi area outside all year round.

There is no place for the waterway but rather for the coach, a means of transport to reach Paris by river and not a place to bring together women of easy virtue, although

The Bartardeau lock on the Nivermais canal, near the pleasure island (L'Île aux Plaisirs). Here you will find many old photos of the lock system with explanations.

The statue of Paul Bert stands on a small balcony by the bridge. From there, the old town of Auxerre can be viewed wonderfully with the wide expanse of water of the Yonne.

In addition to the history of the bridge, which is named after the third American president, it also offers one of the most beautiful views of the old town of Auxerre. This is bathed in a beautiful light, especially in the morning. And all without traffic.

The skipper's patron had his natural place on the banks of the Yonne river, on the very spot where the port has existed since time immemorial. The oldest charters mention the Port Saint-Nicolas. The fountain of the same name, formerly the Saint-Germain fountain, sprang up in the middle of the square, at the time when the enclosure of the city walls existed, and in the middle of this same square stood a stone cross. We can still see, at the corner of the old house n° 2, the statue of the great bishop of Myre, raised by the brotherhood of Saint-Nicolas and having at his feet a tank filled with small children who serve as his attributes. In 1339, the Book of the Hôtel-Dieu tells us that there was a Maison des Estuves or public baths in front of the Saint-Germain fountain. In 1626, the port of Saint-Nicolas was the scene of a violent tumult caused by the high cost of grain. A lady Noubert, from Dijon, who was driving two boats laden with wheat to Paris, was arrested at Auxerre on July 26 by the populace, who loudly demanded the sale of wheat at the market price. The provost, not knowing how to stop the riot, sanctioned the demands of the inhabitants and had the wheat sold. But Dame Noubert assigned the aldermen of Auxerre to the Parliament of Paris. We do not know the outcome of this case. The fountain supplied the district with drinking water until 1783. In 1909, the stone basin which adorned the square of the large fountains (Charles Surugue square) was installed in this square where it can still be seen. http://auxerre.histoire.free.fr/Ville/quartier_saint_germain/place_saint_nicolas.htm

The city is beautiful and lively. There are still "little shops" here. There is so much to see that one highlight is far from enough.
