The attractions of Yonne
Within a department of varied horizons, conducive to discovery and a serene quality of life
Yonne fully embodies the Burgundian identity. Its territory, shaped by nature and history, combines open landscapes, architectural heritage and firmly rooted gastronomic traditions. The department unfolds as a succession of complementary atmospheres, each bringing its nuance to the whole. One discovers in particular:
- Landscapes composed of hills, cultivated plains and vast forest massifs, dotted with villages of balanced silhouettes, where local stone and traditional volumes create a coherent and preserved ensemble.
- Iconic waterways, including the nearby Canal du Nivernais, which winds through the heart of the Burgundian valleys and offers peaceful routes along its banks, appreciated for walking, cycling and waterside strolls.
- A diverse architectural heritage, made up of ancient towns, religious buildings, castles and characterful market towns, testifying to a rich past that still shapes the local identity today.
- Major visitor sites, such as the Château de Bazoches, former residence of Vauban, the Caves of Arcy-sur-Cure, remarkable for their concretions and prehistoric remains, as well as the Abbey of Fontenay, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which testify to the historical and architectural influence of the region.
- A recognised Burgundian culinary tradition, supported by emblematic specialties such as beef bourguignon, eggs in meurette sauce or snails, accompanied by wines from the vineyards of Burgundy, illustrating a culture of the table founded on product quality and a sense of sharing.
Vézelay / Morvan
In the immediate vicinity of Vézelay, an emblematic spiritual and cultural landmark, and the wild and preserved Morvan
Located just a few kilometres from Vézelay, the house benefits from the influence of a site of international renown. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Basilica of Sainte-Madeleine dominates the “eternal hill” and has for centuries been a major stage on the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, attracting visitors, pilgrims and history enthusiasts from all over Europe.
Beyond its remarkable architectural heritage, Vézelay stands out for the spiritual and cultural dimension that permeates the village. The old streets lined with stone houses, art workshops, bookshops and exhibition spaces create an atmosphere that is both contemplative and lively, punctuated by the seasons and by the cultural events that regularly enliven the municipality. This artistic and intellectual presence contributes to the singular identity of the place. The panoramas offered from the hill finally reveal wide perspectives over the surrounding valleys and forests, highlighting the village’s setting within an open and luminous landscape.
Just a few minutes away stretch the wooded hills of the Morvan (the “little Canada of France”), a territory of rolling horizons alternating deep forests, meadows, rivers and lakes. This regional natural park offers a preserved environment, ideal for hiking, cycling, refreshing swims and discoveries along marked trails crossing an authentically preserved nature. Through the seasons, the Morvan reveals contrasting atmospheres: changing foliage colours, morning mists over the valleys, clear light over the open plateaus. This proximity between a major heritage site and a vast natural territory gives the area a particularly sought-after balance, combining cultural richness and scenic breathing space.
Living in Montillot thus means enjoying an authentic setting, at the crossroads of centuries-old history and a high-quality natural environment, in an atmosphere where spirituality, culture and serenity harmoniously respond to one another.
