Another of the
"Plus beaux Villages de France", a gem of a place hidden in the Yonne department south of Auxerre
Here we found a virtually unspoilt medieval walled town with ancient
half timbered buildings, a few shops and art and craft workshops.
Along the quiet
back-streets there were buildings with roofs and windows that looked
like they hadn't
been touched for centuries
Outside the walls were more narrow lanes
with lovingly tended gardens and a tree lined riverside road. Here one
of the remaining towers is attractively smartened with the ubiquitous
flower-boxes
This is certainly a place to seek out during your wanderings through
France
