Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre Church, Vault

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint Germain de Vault church was built at the beginning of the 16th century to replace a Romanesque building.
It goes from a flamboyant Gothic style for its oldest part, the east, to the Renaissance style for the western part.
Inside you will find beautiful ancient frescoes of the life of Jesus and magnificent glazing above the altar.

Avallon Clock Tower

Highlight • Monument

At a height of 49 m, the Clock Tower stands at the highest point of the city, 103 m above the Cousin valley. Built in 1456 by the master mason Jehan Berg, it is located on the site of the southern entrance of the ancient "Aballo", then of the castle of the counts of Avallon. A prestigious monument dominating the medieval city, this former belfry has been home since 1460 to the four "aldermen" appointed by the inhabitants to administer municipal affairs. They held regular council in a room on the first floor until the construction of a town hall in 1772. The prominent position of the tower also makes it an ideal observation post to prevent any fire or invasion. A bell, installed at the end of its construction, and a watchman constantly scanning the horizon made it possible to sound the alarm in case of danger.

Avallon

Highlight • Settlement

Now enter the church covered by ribbed vaults whose particularity is to end in the shape of a dome
This is composed of a central nave flanked by two side aisles. You will notice the difference in level of almost 3 meters between the portal and the choir. The height of the pillars as well as the cord which surmounts them follow, like the floor of the church, the slope of the rocky spur on which it is built.
The current organ was built in 1850 by the Grenoble maker Nicolas Chambry, in a classical style from the 16th and 18th centuries. At the same time, a new musical universe is emerging for organists and Avallon is joining in...
When you leave, don't forget to go to the apse of the Collegiate Church to admire the Romanesque cornices whose sculpted modillions (sculpted architectural element supporting a cornice) are interesting.

La Cure

Highlight • River

If you come from the brewery, near which there are also hiking parking lots, you will pass this beautiful embankment on the Cure shortly before the village. From here you have a beautiful view of the opposite bank with the church and the historic stone bridge crossing the river. A very nice photo opportunity.
