View of Vézelay and Its Basilica

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice view of Vézelay and its basilica, in the distance, on the road which leads to Asnières-sous-Bois. A great entry into the Morvan regional natural park!

Châtel-Censoir

Highlight • Other

Châtel-Censoir, crossed by the Yonne and the Canal du Nivernais, has long been a prosperous town, just like its neighbor, Clamecy. This was particularly due to firewood, which was transported to Paris by canal.

The Nivernais canal greenway passes below the village. Don't miss the remains of Castrum and the Saint-Potentien collegiate church. For rock lovers, the Saussois climbing site is just a few kilometers away.

Nivernais Canal Greenway — From Clamecy to Pousseaux

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Greenway of the Niverais canal, very well developed, between Clamecy and Pousseaux. The track is tarmac, however you should not expect a smooth surface.

Between the two towns, you can see the climbing cliffs and the very beautiful Chartreuse de Basseville.

Historic centre of Clamecy

Highlight • Historical Site

The town of Clamecy has some old medieval buildings, walks along the Yonne and a museum retracing the epic tale of log floating. You will find some nice restaurants at the foot of the collegiate church and in the city center. The cathedral is superb and deserves some time.

Cuncy Castle

Highlight • Other

Cuncy Castle is an old fortified house built at the beginning of the 11th century. Remodeled in the 15th and 16th centuries, it was partly destroyed in 1592, when Vézelay's troops besieged Clamecy.

The castle was rebuilt around 1610, on the site of the old curtain walls. A turret is added to the keep. The castle was acquired in 1846 by Edmé Goyard and his descendants are still the owners. It has an impressive porch tower. It cannot be visited and is located near the village of Villiers-sur-Yonne.
