A simply stunning view of Auxerre and its magnificent cathedral, as well as the Vonne River with its many boats, and Auxerre with everything your heart desires. Plenty of places to rest and, of course, all sorts of restaurants.

A magnificent cycle and walking path along the river from Monetau to the junction with the A6 motorway (you will continue below). On the way, you can admire the river, several bridges and small islands, as well as flowery green spaces along the route.

An old and massive stone bridge over the Yonne. It is cycleable and sees a lot of car and truck use, so be careful.

This wash house in Chevannes once served as a place to rinse washed laundry (several hundred years ago). The whole town used it at the time. It is now more of a historical monument and is no longer in use.

A magnificent view of Auxerre (especially the cathedral) on the Yonne river. Auxerre is the capital of the Yonne department, and there you will find many cafes, restaurants, shops and beautiful places along the river.

Flat, smooth cycle path along the Yonne. From there if you look back you will see a railway bridge. A nice place for a break or a picnic.

The Sainte-Reine chapel seems to have been started with the apse towards the end of the 15th century. and built in several stages until the beginning of the 17th century. On either side of the entrance arch to the apse and on the south wall of the nave, commemorative plaques recall the role of the d'Avigneau family, notably Maurice Marie d'Avigneau who restored the chapel and returned it to worship in 1952.
