ラヴィエール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ10

Worth a visit, very beautiful inside and well preserved.

in August 2023, the washhouse was open. it was therefore possible to visit it. very pretty.

Former fortified village of Yonne, on the Burgundy canal, Ravières is located about sixty kilometers from Auxerre, on the banks of the Armançon river. From this point you can enjoy a view of its small port with its small private boats and cruise ships.

La Grande Forge was built in 1786 by Count Buffon. The forge was used for processing iron and was located at a place where it could use the river and later the canals to transport goods and raw materials. Count Buffon built his castle nearby.

The old iron forge "Forges de Buffon" has been a "monument historique" since 1943 and is privately owned. In the 1920s it was used as a cement factory.

Very nice stopover to spend the night during a bike ride along the Burgundy Canal. You can pitch your tent in the garden of the lock house.

Nice place on the canal with possibility to stay and eat well. 👍

At a bend in the Bourgogne canal lies the "Grande Forgé", the large forge. Built in 1786 by Count Buffon, this was also the location for iron smelting, iron forging and iron processing. The water from the Armancon and coal from nearby mines powered the machines. The iron ore came from the Morvan. The products were transported away by river and road and later by canal. Blacksmiths flourished for a hundred years, after which they were no longer able to compete with the large smelters in Lorraine and elsewhere. Next to the smithy is Count Buffon's castle with an exceptional garden. Four blast furnaces stood along the canal in its day, all near iron mines. Today the work can be visited (8 euros entrance fee) and gives a glimpse of the time.
