A simply stunning view of Auxerre and its magnificent cathedral, as well as the Vonne River with its many boats, and Auxerre with everything your heart desires. Plenty of places to rest and, of course, all sorts of restaurants.

Small town on the bank of the Yonne, and at the junction of the Gurgy Diversion, a section of Canal that joins two parts of the river.

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.
