Beautiful church in the village of Dixant, dating from the 9th century. Two additional bays were built in the 13th century with heads of figures on the capitals.

Armeau is a small town of more than 700 people. Here, the Yonne looks more like a pond. On a nice summer day, swans will gracefully pass by, but they are not there in winter. Please do not give them bread or any other food.
