Béru Castle

Highlight • Castle

Château de Béru stands in the middle of vineyards overlooking one of the most charming slopes of the Chablisien, in the village of Béru.

This house was built in the 13th century and has belonged to the Counts of Béru since 1627, still owners of this estate.
The Château underwent modifications in the Renaissance and in the 18th century.
You can see a rare 16th century sundial and lunar sundial, a 13th century gate and tower, a dovecote with 1,500 13th century boxes and 16th century cellars.

Fosse Dionne and the town of Tonnerre

Highlight • Historical Site

The Dionne pit is a karst spring known as the Vaucluse source. It is in fact a resurgence located in the city center of Tonnerre. His presence is at the origin of the very creation of the city. It is fed mainly by the infiltration of rain in the neighboring limestone plateau. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow rate with an average of 300 liters per second. Its underground network extends to more than 40 kilometers, and we still do not know its depth. Access to the source is free. For your stay in Tonnerre, I suggest the excellent hotel-restaurant l'Abbaye Saint Michel which nicknames itself "stage boudoir".

Notre-Dame Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally a simple oratory of a pilgrim's house, it became, over time, the main church of Tonnerre. In the 11th century, the Hôtel-Dieu Notre-Dame was a modest house welcoming pilgrims on the road to Saint-Jacques. It has a small chapel dedicated to Mary. Over the centuries, the oratory grew and gained in importance. It becomes parish priest, parish then deanery. It was in the 16th and 17th centuries that the monument took on the face we know of it with its high tower surmounted by the inscriptions "Jésus Maria Ave Gracia" and the initials CHC, for Charles Henri de Clermont, Count of Tonnerre and great patron.

Burgundy Canal

Highlight • Other

A long ribbon of water crossing the countryside for 242 kilometers: here is the Burgundy Canal, which connects the Yonne to the Saône and Migennes to Saint-Jean-de-Losne. For some, it is the heart of Burgundy that opens up through these quiet valleys dotted with famous churches and castles.
