Magnificent Exterior Trompe l'oeil Gallery

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and that is how the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.

The church in Tonnerre was dedicated to Saint Peter / “Saint-PIERRE”. Simon, nicknamed Peter (the word means "rock"), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying 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). Saint-Pierre is - together with Saint-Paul - also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”, their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

We enjoyed a remarkable guided tour.

We were there in the morning and the church was still closed. The building from the outside and the beautiful view of the city from there made up for it.

The deep basin of the karst spring with the historic washhouse around it is, in my opinion, the main attraction in Tonnerre. Depending on your perspective, when the sun is shining you will see deep turquoise water in front of you. Plus the rushing of the water. You can also just sit here for a while and enjoy. When we visited the spring on a Friday morning, there was surprisingly little going on.

It has, among its furniture, a shrine which contains relics of Saint Thierry from the Saint-Michel de Tonnerre abbey, a statuette of Saint Eloi from the 15th century, a painting commemorating the deaths of the epidemic of 1632. It represents Charles-Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre, interceding with Saint Roch on the occasion of the plague epidemic; Saint Roch is seated, an angel stands at his side and a dog brings him bread. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Notre-Dame_de_Tonnerre

A real must-see - this round wash house around a turquoise green source is unique in its kind and well worth the detour.
