Beautiful little town with many medieval buildings. Definitely worth a visit

The Saint-Martin collegiate church in Clamecy is considered one of the jewels of Burgundian Gothic art. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it has been listed since 1840. Its large square tower was made with stones extracted from the Basseville quarries, very close to Clamecy. A tricolor flag has flown at its summit since the Revolution, an extremely rare occurrence on a religious building.

Small village built on the banks of the Yonne, where the Nivernais canal greenway passes. There is a great little campsite if you want to stop there and above all a café, "le P'tit Bouchon". Without pretension, it has just reopened. The ideal stop, which brings a good dose of comfort, during rainy outings. The café (where food is also served) was open each time I visited. A real blessing when you know that most bistros close in small villages!

Noé's estate, with its beautiful captaincy tower, never opened. Stalled for more than 15 years, the project had a tourist vocation. All that remains today are walled buildings along the canal, which have never been used. The site, not far from the Maladrerie lock, nevertheless has charm. It’s a lovely place for a picnic!

Built of cut stone and inaugurated in 1838, the Bethlehem Bridge in Clamecy is one of the nerve centers of the city. It spans both the Yonne and the Nivernais canal, which blend together under its arches. Every summer, dozens of makeshift boats are launched at its feet, during the very popular and festive “phony descent”. An event worth seeing!

Construction of the church began around 1215 with flamboyant Gothic architecture. The church is located in the center of the town, opposite the Town Hall and not far from many shops.
