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.

The covered market, inaugurated in 1882, is a typical example of 19th century metal architecture: this covered hall with a triangular shape, in the Baltard style, is one of the rare models of this type in France. In 2015, the building was renovated and restored to its former glory. see Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%C3%A9_couvert_de_Sens

The Notre-Dame Church is certainly one of the oldest Gothic churches in France. It was built between 1162 and 1169, at the same time as Sens Cathedral.
