Located between the forest massifs of Chaourçois and the Othe forest, Ervy-le-Châtel has many charms. The village takes its name from the local lord who ruled this stronghold until the 9th century: the Ervy family. The Armance flows at the foot of the town. There is also a feudal mound nearby. These are probably the ruins of the original castle.

The cathedral is open for tours during the day and this is not to be missed! It is a major work of French Gothic architecture and impresses with its high, light-flooded vaults and colorful windows. "The cathedral is located in the center of the old town on a hill above the Yonne. Saint-Étienne was begun in 1215. Today's Gothic cathedral is the fifth building on this site. In 1567 the Huguenots sacked the city and the cathedral, which necessitated repairs, particularly to the choir glazing. The French Revolution caused countless damage to the building and its furnishings. The goldsmith's work was melted down, the church was transformed into a temple of reason, and the important statue of the suffering Stephen on the high altar only escaped destruction because it was turned into a suffering Marat in the bath. In 1840 Prosper Mérimée placed the cathedral under monument protection. Extensive restoration work took place throughout the 19th century."

The original tower, also called Tour Gaillarde, was part of a Gallo-Roman fortification and was often restored, expanded and elevated over the centuries. A city gate was built based on this tower in 1483, which also housed a prison. There is a small market on the square in front of the tower, at least on Saturdays, where you can buy regional food. A sight that stands out from the many buildings in the city that are worth seeing.

The church is located in the heart of ancient Auxerre, outside the 3rd century city wall but included in the 11th century wall. The portal of the old religious community, the main access to the church, is at the bottom of rue Joubert near rue du Pont. The location has been occupied by a place of worship dedicated to Saint Peter since at least the 6th century. Concerning the older occupation of the place, archaeological excavations carried out in 2007 on the north-west side of the current church demonstrated a continuity of the habitat, taken up and modified several times, until the end of the Merovingian period. . The current nave was inaugurated in 1894, after destruction in 1891 of the previous nave from the 12th and 13th centuries. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Pierre_d%27Auxerre
