I highly recommend visiting the abbey church of St Thibault in St Thibault! A pure marvel!

Vercingetorix, the great Celtic prince who was tragically defeated by the Romans. The battle site is historically important for France.

The church was founded in the 6th century but the abbey church was not built until later, between the 13th and 15th centuries. In Burgundian Gothic style, the portal is decorated with plant decoration made up of branches of vines. Once inside, you will be able to see wall paintings from the beginning of the 16th century representing the legend of Saint Seine in 22 paintings, the Tree of Jesse, Saint Christopher and the litanies of the Virgin.

At this point, you exit the D9 and follow the road which runs along the Canal de Bourgogne. This cycle path is very long and famous. There are several places to picnic along the canal.

Many, mostly young people, even without any further knowledge of French history. The comic series ASTERIX, which has been translated into many languages around the world, acquaints its readers with this, even though it is (supposedly) not possible to identify this fateful place with a specific location there: “I don't know any Alesia. Nobody knows where this Alesia is," claims Majestix, head of the small Gallic village that successfully resisted the Roman occupiers - thanks to the legendary magic potion of their druid Miraculix - for example in the volume "Asterix and the Avernian Shield".

This monument, although only erected in the second half of the 19th century, takes us back two millennia in history, 52 years before the beginning of the Christian era. It is dedicated to the brave warrior VERCINGETORIX, who tried to defend Gaul against the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar. Even though Caesar was able to assert himself militarily here, the proud monument is not dedicated to him personally, but to his defeated opponent Vercingetorix.

If you read the history of this castle, you will see that it was destroyed and rebuilt more often than not. This phoenix of flames is a real castle of interest. It looks great and you won't be disappointed if you stop there on your hike.
