The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne is almost the size of a cathedral, which is surprising in a small town of five thousand inhabitants. Its construction began in the 13th century and was not completed until the 16th with the addition of the façade and the first western bays. This last part was not vaulted until the 17th century.

The beginning of its construction was in the first quarter of the 13th century, around 1215. The church was then dedicated to the Virgin, like many in this period of great development of Marian worship. 71 m long, 19 m wide, and with a vault height of 22 m, the central nave without a transept is a fine example of the maturity of radiant Gothic. The very characteristic Renaissance facade is inspired in its lower part by the antique model of the triumphal arch with its three semi-circular portals. A detailed interior tour document is available in the building, open daily every afternoon from June to September. For exact opening hours, please call +33 3 58 15 60 02

Armeau is a small town of more than 700 people. Here, the Yonne looks more like a pond. On a nice summer day, swans will gracefully pass by, but they are not there in winter. Please do not give them bread or any other food.

The Porte de Sens is one of the two gates (the other being the Porte de Joigny) which formed part of the defenses of the city. They now house museums of prehistory and regional archaeology.

The Porte de Sens is one of two gates (the other being the Porte de Joigny) which formed part of the city's defences. They now house museums of prehistory and regional archaeology.

Built around 1200 on the order of King Philippe Auguste, this gate bears witness to the fortifications of that time, with its north facade, very little altered: it still presents its defensive system characterized by its side towers in spur and a set of lines of biases that ensured maximum protection and effectiveness to its defenders. Under the vault one can clearly distinguish the grooves where the two portcullis slid which ensured the closure of the door and constituted a real airlock, reinforced laterally by four loopholes which allowed the defenders to attack in crossfire an enemy who had crossed the first portcullis. Stunners, placed in front of the first portcullis and after the second completed this device. Do not imagine a drawbridge, a device still unknown at the time of its construction. Within the walls, there are still the stairs which gave access to the floor of the door and to the curtain walls which surrounded the city over a circumference of nearly 2 km.
