The old watermill has obviously not been in operation for a long time, but it offers you a nice view from the bike path.

Saint-Germain d'Irancy church

Unfortunately the church is locked. But you will find a rest area here and a hiking map of the region in front of a wonderful backdrop.

Col de Crémant

Highlight • Mountain Pass

the one and only pass of the Yonne! a very small pass but still nice with a climb in switchbacks that climbs well. Small bonus: several gravel paths starting from the pass or just next to it.
