Tips from the Community
The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne is almost the size of a cathedral, which is surprising in a small town of five thousand inhabitants. Its construction began in the 13th century and was not completed until the 16th with the addition of the façade and the first western bays. This last part was not vaulted until the 17th century.

The beginning of its construction was in the first quarter of the 13th century, around 1215. The church was then dedicated to the Virgin, like many in this period of great development of Marian worship. 71 m long, 19 m wide, and with a vault height of 22 m, the central nave without a transept is a fine example of the maturity of radiant Gothic. The very characteristic Renaissance facade is inspired in its lower part by the antique model of the triumphal arch with its three semi-circular portals. A detailed interior tour document is available in the building, open daily every afternoon from June to September. For exact opening hours, please call +33 3 58 15 60 02

Armeau is a small town of more than 700 people. Here, the Yonne looks more like a pond. On a nice summer day, swans will gracefully pass by, but they are not there in winter. Please do not give them bread or any other food.

Church whose origin dates back to the year 700. It was restored in 1995, as was the bell dated 1771 that it contains. The history of the village is told in five stages through its stained glass windows.

The first castle of the Middle Ages in the shape of an octagon, which was built in 1121. It was dismantled during the wars of religion on the orders of Charles IX then rebuilt by Louise de Coligny, the daughter of Admiral de Coligny, murdered during the Saint-Barthélémy Day massacre.
