The City Stade (Multisportanlage) in Villevallier is a modern, fenced all-weather sports field. It was built specifically for children, young people, and recreational athletes in the village. The most important information about it: Versatile sports offering: The field is designed as a so-called "Terrain multisports". It has integrated goals and basketball hoops. Children can flexibly play football, basketball, handball, or volleyball there. Free access: The facility is completely free and freely accessible to all residents and visitors. No club membership or prior registration is required. Safe area: Thanks to the fixed fencing (mostly a combination of wood or metal elements) and the special, shock-absorbing sports floor, children can romp around there protected from road traffic without balls constantly rolling away. Usage rules: As with almost all such facilities in France, kicking and playing is allowed during the day (usually from 8:00 AM to approx. 9:00 PM). Out of consideration for the neighbors, attention should be paid to the noise level. In addition, vehicles such as bicycles, scooters, or inline skates are usually prohibited on the playing field itself to protect the surface.

On the main road, there is a traditionally built, historic well, on whose cover a striking, old stone cross (Calvaire) is enthroned.

At this position, there is a practical bicycle repair station. If something breaks, you can repair and inflate it here 👍🏼

Always useful on a long ride.

The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne is almost the size of a cathedral, which is surprising in a small town of five thousand inhabitants. Its construction began in the 13th century and was not completed until the 16th with the addition of the façade and the first western bays. This last part was not vaulted until the 17th century.

Excellent view of the Chateau de Passy! Passy-mal! 🤣

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. For exact opening hours, please call +33 3 58 15 60 02
