The Dionne pit is a karst source called the Vauclusian source, located in the city center of Tonnerre. It is fed by the infiltration of precipitation into the surrounding limestone plateau as well as by the losses of at least one river. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow and the size of its hydrogeological network which extends to more than 40 km. His presence is at the origin of the creation of the city of Tonnerre. An elaborate washhouse was built around the spring in the 18th century. Wikipedia

A real must-see - this round wash house around a turquoise green source is unique in its kind and well worth the detour.

The church in Tonnerre was dedicated to Saint Peter / “Saint-PIERRE”. Simon, nicknamed Peter (the word means "rock"), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19). Saint-Pierre is - together with Saint-Paul - also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”, their common feast day in the saints' calendar is on June 29th.

From the old stone bridge there is of course a beautiful view of the Armançon River. And a first look at the old town.
