Tips from the Community
The church of Pont sur Yonne can be said to be entirely Gothic and certainly one of the oldest Gothic churches in France, just as the cathedral of SENS, 10km from Pont, is the first Gothic cathedral ever built in France. They can both be dated to the same period of construction, namely the end of the 12th century, between 1162 and 1169.

Beautiful walk, varied, hilly. Clockwise, above the D18 we have a view of the wonderful rolling countryside, especially in spring. Green, the yellow of rapeseed, the brown of plowed land. In the distance, the chimneys of the Nogent sur Seine power station produce a white plume in this blue sky. Well then, on the right all the way down hidden under the trees are the sand quarries and the Seine, even further away are the hills announcing the Yonne and Burgundy.

The Vanne Aqueduct in Pont-Sur-Yonne was built in the 19th century by the engineer Eugène Belgrand to transport pure water from the Vanne to the capital. It extends over 156 km and crosses several valleys and rivers, including the Yonne and the Loing. You will be able to admire its elegant arches and discover its technical prowess throughout the route. The aqueduct is part of a network of trails that connect different villages and towns in the region.

The remains of the old bridge are the remains of an old stone bridge built under Louis XIV and partially destroyed during the wars of 1814 and 1940. You can admire the three arches which still stand over the Yonne, as well as the aqueduct de la Vanne which is nearby and which was also dynamited by the French army in 1940.
