Magnificent Exterior Trompe l'oeil Gallery

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and that is how the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.

This castle has hosted filming of famous swashbuckling series: the first of Bernard Borderie's "Angélique Marquise des Anges" films, with Michèle Mercier, Robert Hossein, and Jean Rochefort, is among others filmed in the marvelous settings of the Château de Tanlay. It is one of the most beautiful specimens of Renaissance architecture in Burgundy, famous in particular for its trompe l'oeil gallery and for its frescoes of the League Tower It also has very beautiful moats and rich furniture interior. Certain architectural details, such as the pyramids on the access bridge, the wall surrounding the green courtyard, the Gallery of the Caesars and the nymphaeum, are steeped in the Italian Renaissance. The castle is open every day of the week except Tuesday. Many events such as plays, running races, garden tours and golf cups are organized throughout the season.

Set up for the section of the canal opened to traffic in 1832 (from Pont-de-Pany to Tonnerre). Located on the right bank, the lock keeper's house is built of coated rubble stones, with mechanical tiles. A lean-to extension extends the right side of the roof of the house. Extremely remodeled, the house today opens through a semi-circular door, in the extension.

The Hotel Dieu is the work of Marguerite de Bourgogne. it is the longest medieval hospital in Europe. It was built in the XIII century.

The Hôtel-Dieu de Tonnerre is a former hospital establishment founded in 1293 by Marguerite de Bourgogne, Countess of Tonnerre and Queen of Jerusalem. This exceptional historical monument has welcomed the sick and needy for centuries, who come to receive free care for the body, but also for the soul: services are celebrated every day in the chapel located at the end of the Sick Room, in a manner so that everyone can attend from their bed.

I highly recommend the visit (10€/adult) - very well preserved and well explained, you escape to an other time.

The Hôtel-Dieu in Tonnerre is a medieval hospital. The building has been protected as a monument historique since 1862. The Hôtel-Dieu was donated by Margaret of Burgundy and built from 1293 to 1295. The facility, known as the Hôpital Notre-Dame des Fontenilles, had space for 40 patients, although significantly more people were later accommodated. Marguerite de Bourgogne had a residential wing built next to it, called Le château (the castle), where she herself lived as a widow. Her body was buried in the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu in 1308. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel-Dieu_(Tonnerre)
