Superb banks of the Yonne

Feeling very small at the bottom of the tower.

Just follow my route

A pleasant little provincial town on the banks of the river

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.

Villeneuve with its bridge over the Yonne is magnificent.

The church of Pont sur Yonne can be said to be entirely Gothic and certainly one of the oldest Gothic churches in France, just as the cathedral of SENS, 10km from Pont, is the first Gothic cathedral ever built in France. They can both be dated to the same period of construction, namely the end of the 12th century, between 1162 and 1169.

Beautiful remains. But don't worry, the new bridge is very solid.
