Yonne, a hidden gem in Burgundy, France, is a region that boasts an array of cultural and historical treasures. From the awe-inspiring Mary Magdalene statue in Vezelay Basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to the sacred heart of Jesus in Auxerre's Jesuss church, Yonne is steeped in religious significance. As you wander through this picturesque land, you'll encounter charming half-timbered houses nestled within the village of Noyers sur Serein. These quaint structures tell tales of centuries past and add to the enchanting atmosphere that permeates Yonne. The rich history continues with the mural of the Visitation dating from the 12th to 16th century found in Moutiers' church. This artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and enduring faith. Pontigny offers its own wonders with a chalice that speaks volumes about its spiritual heritage. The statue of Virgin Mary surrounded by angels further enhances Pontigny's ethereal ambiance. Notre Dame Church in Saint Pere invites visitors to take a glimpse down its aisle where echoes of devotion resonate through time. Here, one can't help but feel connected to something greater than themselves. Vineyards envelop Irancy like an emerald cloak as they produce some of Burgundy's finest wines. The rolling hills adorned with grapevines create an idyllic backdrop for wine enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Cathedrale Saint-Etienne stands tall as an architectural masterpiece within Yonne's capital city - Auxerre. Its interior reveals intricate details such as the radiating chapel (Chapelle Sainte-Colombe) and Guillaume Coustou's Mausoleum du Dauphin made from white and black marble; these elements are testaments to human creativity throughout history. In Yonne, every corner holds surprises waiting to be discovered – whether it be breathtaking statues or ancient murals.
