Next to the Manor, there is the miniature village.

very nice little village with a bakery, a grocery store, a garage with a gas pump.

The extremely impressive church in Cravant was dedicated to the two SAINTS "PIERRE et PAUL". They are also known as the "Princes of the Apostles" and their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse 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). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

Châtel-Censoir, crossed by the Yonne and the Canal du Nivernais, has long been a prosperous town, just like its neighbor, Clamecy. This was particularly due to firewood, which was transported to Paris by canal. The Nivernais canal greenway passes below the village. Don't miss the remains of Castrum and the Saint-Potentien collegiate church. For rock lovers, the Saussois climbing site is just a few kilometers away.

A pretty flat section of a well-paved route crosses the commune of Chatel Censoir. Châtel-Censoir is a small village of nearly 700 people. The village takes its name from the bishop of Saint-Censure, bishop of Auxerre.

The Saint Pierre Saint Paul church is a remarkable building. It has a unique architecture in Burgundy. Its impressive dimensions remind us that Cravant was a city of more than 3000 inhabitants. The church then belonged to the bishops of Auxerre who came there regularly and did everything to make it beautiful and imposing. The interior of the church, with its nave, its Renaissance choir, its chapels, its keystones and its vaulted ceilings, bears witness to its prestigious past. It was built in the 9th century, enlarged in the 12th century then rebuilt at the end of the 16th century. https://www.bourgogne-tourisme.com/abbayes-et-autre-edifices-religieux/eglise-de-saint-pierre-et-saint-paul-de-cravant-3

Appears at the top of the hill this elegant Renaissance style building: the Château du Chastenay. It has a turret placed in a corbel on the right, a hexagonal staircase tower in the center. The pediment of its portal is decorated with a sculpted frieze as well as a Jacquaire shell (we are on the way to Santiago de Compostela). The mullioned windows are also richly carved. The presence of a dovecote affirms the lordly character of the place. In principle, only lords, high justices, had one. The number of bowls was regulated according to the surface area of the owner's fiefdom. The pigeon was highly appreciated for its fine flesh and for its droppings, called columbine, which serves as excellent quality fertilizer.

Please make sure to reserve and pay in advance at www.grottes-arcy.net After paying online, be sure to note the reserved date and entry time! You only receive a payment confirmation from Systempay, without an entry time or date! At the checkout, however, the employees see the names of the online bookings. There are only guided tours that last around 50 minutes. The length of the tour is 450 m. You are not allowed to take photos along almost the entire length of the tour! That's why I couldn't take any pictures of this impressively beautiful stalactite cave. At the end of the tour the ceiling height decreases significantly. This is exactly where prehistoric people left their engravings. These engravings were only discovered in 1990 and were exposed with great effort using micro milling. An approximately 3mm thick layer of debris has been removed, but a fine, transparent layer has been left on the engravings so they are still protected. Only at the end of the tour are you allowed to take pictures of a crystal-clear small lake.
