Simply a great idea that is being put into practice here. Come by before the construction work is finished. In addition to the normal day-to-day construction work, there are also always interesting special offers. The bread baked here is pretty tasty and is sold.

An unmissable experience is visiting this castle, the construction of which began in 1999 using medieval techniques. You visit a construction site (now well advanced), chat with the workers from the different trades who explain everything to you, visit the vegetable garden, the basket maker, the baker, the potter, the herbalist, etc… I highly recommend visiting this castle !

The Saint-Martin collegiate church in Clamecy is considered one of the jewels of Burgundian Gothic art. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it has been listed since 1840. Its large square tower was made with stones extracted from the Basseville quarries, very close to Clamecy. A tricolor flag has flown at its summit since the Revolution, an extremely rare occurrence on a religious building.
