Worth a visit, very beautiful inside and well preserved.

Very nice lock, like the ones you see often along the way.

Set up for the section of the canal opened to traffic in 1832 (from Pont-de-Pany to Tonnerre). Located on the right bank, the lock keeper's house is built of coated rubble stones, with mechanical tiles. A lean-to extension extends the right side of the roof of the house. Extremely remodeled, the house today opens through a semi-circular door, in the extension.

The castle of Ancy-le-Franc is a pure marvel of the French Renaissance. It’s a real palace! A gem you wouldn't expect to find in the countryside. The richness of its decoration is just breathtaking. For example, he has the largest collection of Renaissance murals, which makes him the direct rival of Fontainebleau. It was built between 1542 and 1550 for Antoine Clermont-Tonnerre, lieutenant general, master of water and forest and brother-in-law of Diane de Poitiers (Diane was the favorite of the king of France Henri II). This Renaissance gem is the masterpiece of the Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio, master of symmetry and 16th century architecture, called by Francis I to join his court.
