Port of Ravières

Highlight • Structure

Former fortified village of Yonne, on the Burgundy canal, Ravières is located about sixty kilometers from Auxerre, on the banks of the Armançon river.
From this point you can enjoy a view of its small port with its small private boats and cruise ships.

Bistrot du Canal & Lavoir de Chassignelles

Highlight • Other

The Bistrot du Canal is a very nice little place to eat! Right next to it is an old wash house, the interior of which is visible through a grid.

Royal accommodation, it would be a shame to miss out!

Highlight • Other

"Le Moulin neuf," a superbly restored mill. You can certainly find cheaper options, but the quality of the accommodation and the services (excellent breakfast included) are well worth it. Plus, you'll be doing a small part to help integrate people with disabilities. Also worth noting is the Bodeca restaurant, associated with the mill, with brasserie-style menus starting at €15, good prices and always in a very pleasant setting.

Ancy-le-Franc Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Ancy-le-Franc is a pure marvel of the French Renaissance. It’s a real palace! A gem you wouldn't expect to find in the countryside. The richness of its decoration is just breathtaking. For example, he has the largest collection of Renaissance murals, which makes him the direct rival of Fontainebleau. It was built between 1542 and 1550 for Antoine Clermont-Tonnerre, lieutenant general, master of water and forest and brother-in-law of Diane de Poitiers (Diane was the favorite of the king of France Henri II). This Renaissance gem is the masterpiece of the Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio, master of symmetry and 16th century architecture, called by Francis I to join his court. For more information, please visit the following website: chateau-ancy.com/fr The castle is open every day except Monday. For the visit, it will be necessary to pay an amount of 13 euros.
