Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

The city is pretty and its door is worth a look, on one side as on the other

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Porte de Sens

Highlight • Monument

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.

At the foot of a climb in the forest, here is a calm valley in the heart of which this monument was erected in memory of a group of resistance fighters who worked in the region. A few hundred meters away, the rock of the devil which is made up of a pile of rocks; the small road that leads to this rock ends in dirt roads.
The water in the fountain is marked as non-potable. I haven't tried it, but it can at least be used to cool the face or body in case of hot weather.

L'Enfourchure Priory

Highlight • Other

Founded in 1209 on the edge of the forest of Othe by the Order of Gramont, a religious community which had an important influence in the region, this priory was ruined by the Hundred Years War, but rebuilt at the beginning of the 16th century. The order was abolished in 1772 and the building sold for its stones during the French Revolution. Of the priory, all that remains today is the arcature of the facade as well as the ruins of the chapel and the priory dwelling. In the 19th century, there were still ribbed vaults, but they collapsed. The apse which had walls rising up to 4 m also collapsed during the winter of 1996-1997.
It is a private property open to the public only on certain occasions such as heritage days. Difficult to see anything other than the facade visible from the road. For other points of view, a short film is available here: dixmont-yonne.fr/decouvrir/videos/prieure-lenfourchure
