Passage through the forest is prohibited and the route is more of a quiet walk.

Before the 14th century Maligny had a castle surrounded by moats with a chapel. The village is structured around these buildings with the expansion of the city, shops, housing and infrastructure.

The Saint-Martin collegiate church from the 12th and 13th centuries is very well preserved. The church is definitely worth a visit. A special feature is the south portal, whose door wings are decorated with various horseshoes. Built in 1160, rebuilt from 1220. Apart from the tower, all the walls date from the Middle Ages. The paintings from the 13th century and the horseshoes on the side gate identify the building as a stage on the St. James pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The various restorations have not changed the building, with the exception of the tower, which was added in 1852. https://www.moulindelacoudre.fr/de/2017/02/11/die-stiftskirche-saint-martin/

Nicknamed the golden gate of Burgundy, Chablis is a charming town obviously famous for its prestigious wine. The surrounding vineyards, planted solely with the Chardonnay grape variety, cover 4,800 hectares, making it the largest in Yonne. And one of the oldest as well since vines have been cultivated there since the 9th century; and from the Middle Ages, Chablis wines were exported to England, Paris, Rouen, Picardy and Flanders. The old town therefore offers an interesting historical heritage including two churches, a priory, a picturesque wash house and an old gate with two towers. Every Sunday morning (from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) a Burgundian market is held in the heart of the city where you can find many local producers.
