France's first Gothic cathedral. A must-see monument.

It's impossible not to stop! This half-timbered house is worth contemplating.

Numerous cafés and bakeries for a break in front of the cathedral

Thank you very much for this ride. I just took inspiration from it for my Gravel outing. It’s really very nice and pretty. Be careful, the woods above Soucy are no longer accessible.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a “MONUMENT AUX MORTS” (usually called a “cenotaph” or “war memorial” in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. “Now you, O Lord, are letting your servant depart in peace, as you said…” says the so-called “Song of Simeon” (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not die in peace, but rather became victims of war and tyranny. This is why the term “Fallen Monument” is now sometimes used instead of the “war memorial” that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemorating the dead has long been included through the commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a monument has two important and at the same time eternal tasks: -1- To keep the memory of the suffering and horror of the war alive, -2- and to call for the lasting preservation of peace.

At Square Jean Cousin, you can admire the statue of the famous Renaissance artist who worked for Sens Cathedral. The square is a pretty garden with mosaic flowerbeds, typical of the 19th century.

The Saint-Maurice de Sens church is a 12th century Catholic church located on the banks of the Yonne. There you can admire the architecture and works of art of the church, such as the main altar, the statue of the Virgin in Majesty and the statue of Saint-Maurice on horseback. The church is only open a few days a year, but you can attend mass there every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The church is also a good starting point for discovering the town of Sens and its rich heritage.

The Heroes' Monument in Sens is a memorial dedicated to soldiers who fell during the First World War. It is located on the Place des Héros, near the Saint-Savinien basilica and the ancient Carmel.
