Beautiful remains. But don't worry, the new bridge is very solid.

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 chateau was built in 1760. Outside the perimeter you will see a rather impressive gate which still bears the coat of arms of the original owner and builder, Noël Jacques Michel de Brion.

Body of water well maintained by the town of Vinneuf, which has become a place of relaxation offering various activities: fishing, fitness trail, sailing, walks and a picnic area. It was also the place of the traditional midday ravito during the Pantin - Joigny when this cycling tour existed.
