Cistercian monks settled here in 1114, in this valley near the Serein, where a forest reigned. They built a huge abbey: 4000m² on the ground, 120m long. Second daughter of Citeaux, Pontigny is thus the largest Cistercian abbey church in the world. The Revolution put an end to the presence of the monks and the church became parish in 1803. It was classified as a Historic Monument in 1840 in the first list drawn up by Prosper Mérimée, a sign of its heritage importance. Marked by the austere thought of Saint Bernard, the Cistercian church is deliberately devoid of images and colors. The search for spiritual perfection is reflected in an architecture in search of the essential, and which gives importance to the diffusion of natural light. Pontigny perfectly embodies this research. The abbey church marks the transition between Romanesque and Gothic. We can distinguish two construction campaigns with an older part of Romanesque style and a second part influenced by the Gothic style. The road enters the domain and arrives at the foot of the abbey. Above all, do not hesitate to cross the portal.

Good news: the Migennes Esnon section of the Burgundy canal, stony and not very passable, has just been completed on the other bank by a magnificent section of perfectly asphalted cycle route! Much easier to go from Migennes (SNCF station) to BRIENON

The Burgundy Canal, which begins at Migennes, linked the Seine basin to that of the Rhône via the Saône. The section between Migennes and Tonnerre is quite pleasant and allows you to visit many small towns. Be careful of the poor surfacing at the beginning of the route... Brienon is an interesting stopover: old port, mills, Renaissance church, castle, very beautiful 18th century wash house. Swimming, camping...

Nice for a break.

In this area, the cycle path along the Yonne is paved with asphalt which is in excellent condition. It is a dream to drive here, because you can enjoy the surroundings without having to constantly pay attention to catching the best line on the way, as is necessary elsewhere.

The Dérivation de Gurgy is a short stretch of canal which makes some loops of the Yonne navigable and shortens it. the cycle path along the Yonne leads along it.

Saint Florentin is a pleasant little town that has been very well restored. The two fun and informative anecdotes to take away from the city are as follows: during the Revolution, Saint-Florentin was one of the most dynamic places of Theophilanthropy, a religion which succeeded the cult of reason and the supreme being between 1798 and 1801. During the convention, the anticlerical republicans renamed Saint-Florentin and called it Mont-Armance between 8 Germinal of Year Two (March 28, 1794) and 6 Ventôse of Year Three (February 24, 1795). The city is located on the edge of the Armance and the Burgundy Canal, but also the N77. Some ingenious minds wanted to take inspiration from the legendary American route 66 in the hope of attracting tourists, and now call it route 77.
