France's first Gothic cathedral. A must-see monument.

Numerous cafés and bakeries for a break in front of the cathedral

Thank you very much for this ride. I just took inspiration from it for my Gravel outing. It’s really very nice and pretty. Be careful, the woods above Soucy are no longer accessible.

Saint Stephen “Saint-ETIENNE” is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and is also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church remembers him on Boxing Day, December 26th. When Stephen uttered his vision of the open heaven, "And being filled with the Holy Spirit, he looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant that that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

Very pretty and lively town where there are restaurants, cafes and shops open even in August

The Saint-Étienne de Sens cathedral, monumentally rebuilt in the 12th century on the site of an old church, is one of the first major buildings of Gothic architecture in Christianity with the Saint-Denis basilica, then an abbey church. The construction of this cathedral then testifies to the importance of both the archdiocese of Sens which included Paris in its territory, but also of the bailiwick of Sens which was the oldest and most extensive in France, with a wealth of city originating from trade between Paris, Burgundy and the Rhône valley. From 1166 to 1170, Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury in conflict with the King of England Henry II, resided in Sens in a house near the Cathedral. An entire stained glass window recounts the end of his life, from his departure from Sens to his assassination by overzealous barons of the King of England. The marriage of Saint Louis with Marguerite de Provence was also celebrated in 1234 in this cathedral. It now sits in the heart of the pedestrian district of the town of Sens, in a town center which has been well developed and deserves a visit, because it is full of old buildings and small restaurants.

In the middle of the forest, you will find at this intersection a menhir 1.3 meters high with this plan.

This pierced stone is in fact a megalith in cliquart sandstone (variety of hard sandstone) with a height of around 1.40 m in square shape and which, according to recent archaeological expertise, dates from the Iron Age (around 700 years BC) . It is located at the crossroads of two very pleasant roads that cross the forest.
