The Cousin River at Pontaubert and Avallon

Highlight (Segment) • River

A pretty flat segment along the Le Cousin river from Pontaubert to Avallon. The road is shaded and it is pleasantly cool to cycle along the river. The water is not drinkable, but it is nice to stop for a quick swim (the water is not deep).

Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre Church, Vault

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint Germain de Vault church was built at the beginning of the 16th century to replace a Romanesque building.
It goes from a flamboyant Gothic style for its oldest part, the east, to the Renaissance style for the western part.
Inside you will find beautiful ancient frescoes of the life of Jesus and magnificent glazing above the altar.

Saint-Jacques d'Asquins church

Highlight • Religious Site

Very beautiful church with an interesting background. You can only get into the church if you call. The numbers are posted. The lady who takes care of this is there quickly and very polite.

You can also get a pilgrim stamp here
