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.

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.

The Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine has been listed as UNESCO since 1979. It is one of the starting points of the Santiago de Compostela trail. It is here that Saint Bernard preached the second crusade. It is a high place of Christianity.

Noyers-sur-Serein

Highlight • Settlement

Voted one of the most beautiful villages in France, a tour of the charming medieval town is a must during a holiday in Burgundy.
Stroll through medieval cobblestone streets past the magnificent half-timbered houses, which often have wood carvings or their original arcades and are decorated with flowers. One finds peace below the defensive walls, which are equipped with many defensive towers, right on the banks of the Serein.
It is advisable to receive a flyer at the tourist information office at the entrance to the town, which explains 16 interesting and worth seeing stations on a circular route.
In the past, the place was often used as a film set (e.g. "The Great Party" with Louis de Funès).
