Fosse Dionne and the town of Tonnerre

Highlight • Historical Site

The Dionne pit is a karst spring known as the Vaucluse source. It is in fact a resurgence located in the city center of Tonnerre. His presence is at the origin of the very creation of the city. It is fed mainly by the infiltration of rain in the neighboring limestone plateau. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow rate with an average of 300 liters per second. Its underground network extends to more than 40 kilometers, and we still do not know its depth. Access to the source is free. For your stay in Tonnerre, I suggest the excellent hotel-restaurant l'Abbaye Saint Michel which nicknames itself "stage boudoir".

Fosse Dionne

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Dionne pit is a karst source called the Vauclusian source, located in the city center of Tonnerre. It is fed by the infiltration of precipitation into the surrounding limestone plateau as well as by the losses of at least one river. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow and the size of its hydrogeological network which extends to more than 40 km.

His presence is at the origin of the creation of the city of Tonnerre. An elaborate washhouse was built around the spring in the 18th century.

Lock 85 - Lezinnes

Highlight • Other

Set up for the section of the canal opened to traffic in 1832 (from Pont-de-Pany to Tonnerre). Located on the right bank, the lock keeper's house is built of coated rubble stones, with mechanical tiles. A lean-to extension extends the right side of the roof of the house. Extremely remodeled, the house today opens through a semi-circular door, in the extension.
