オートリクール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ15

The museum is now located in a former monastery and is well worth a visit.

This neo-Gothic church was built in the 19th century to replace the old Romanesque church demolished in 1855. You can admire the stained glass windows and the organ which were donated by the family of Auguste Hériot, a famous businessman and politician. The church is also located in the village of Essoyes, where the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir spent many summers and painted some of his most famous works.

This house, called "la Maison des Renoir", is a charming bourgeois residence typical of the region, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of vineyards and hills. Renoir often used the surroundings of the house as a backdrop for his paintings. Today it is open to the public as a museum.

The church of Essoyes is particularly known for its magnificent stained glass windows which date from the 16th century. These are renowned for their bright colors and tell biblical stories. This church also houses the tomb of Auguste Renoir, the famous French impressionist painter.

The Treasure of Vix is one of the most magnificent Celtic princely treasures (in this case, it is a princess) in the world. It was discovered in 1953 at the foot of Mont Lassois, in the town of Vix, very close to Chatillon-sur-Seine. The very beautiful Pays Chatillonais museum now houses the famous vase of Vix, and the gold tiara of the Lady of Vix. The vase is very impressive: it is 1.64 meters high, 1.29 meters wide and weighs over 200 kilograms. It could hold over a thousand liters of wine. Celtic princes and princesses of the late Iron Age (6th century BC) traded pewter with Mediterranean populations. They received sumptuous gifts in exchange.

Great stop for a glass of fizz!

A very beautiful place that I've already passed twice on my long tours through France. The third time, I'll be staying longer.

Nice bars and restaurants on the Ource.
