Looks beautiful, worth a detour but you have to drive around the outside (no passage, it's private)

The remarkable "Tour de l'horloge" in Avallon is a massive gate tower integrated into the city wall and dates back to the 14th century, while the rare clock dates back to the 15th century.

Fantastic view of the mill (Le Moulin Cayenne) on the Cousin river. The whole route leads past several old mills. A super low-traffic route. Definitely a drive!

Imposing city gate. The road towards the gate has many restaurants, behind the gate steep streets lead out of the city.
