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.

Originally a simple oratory of a pilgrim's house, it became, over time, the main church of Tonnerre. In the 11th century, the Hôtel-Dieu Notre-Dame was a modest house welcoming pilgrims on the route to Saint-Jacques. It has a small chapel dedicated to Mary. Over the centuries, the oratory grew and gained in importance. It became a cure, a parish then a deanery. It was in the 16th and 17th centuries that the monument took on the face we know with its high tower topped with the inscriptions "Jesus Maria Ave Gracia", and the initials CHC, for Charles Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre and great patron.

We enjoyed a remarkable guided tour.

It has, among its furniture, a shrine which contains relics of Saint Thierry from the Saint-Michel de Tonnerre abbey, a statuette of Saint Eloi from the 15th century, a painting commemorating the deaths of the epidemic of 1632. It represents Charles-Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre, interceding with Saint Roch on the occasion of the plague epidemic; Saint Roch is seated, an angel stands at his side and a dog brings him bread. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Notre-Dame_de_Tonnerre

The church in Tonnerre was dedicated to Saint Peter / “Saint-PIERRE”. Simon, nicknamed Peter (the word means "rock"), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Saint-Pierre is - together with Saint-Paul - also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”, their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

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.

We were there in the morning and the church was still closed. The building from the outside and the beautiful view of the city from there made up for it.
