The town of Avallon is home to very old monuments such as the Saint-Lazare church which is in front of you and a little further on the Clock Tower. The city center is very pleasant with its squares and fountains, and its very beautiful Maison des Sires de Domecy. By heading towards Quarré-les-Tombes you will see several islands located on the course of the Cousin, as well as remarkable old bridges spanning it. The statue of the famous Avallon frog, which you will not fail to see, was sculpted in Châtillonnais stone by Yvan Baudoin.

The Saint Germain de Vault church was built at the beginning of the 16th century to replace a Romanesque building. It goes from a flamboyant Gothic style for its oldest part, the east, to the Renaissance style for the western part. Inside you will find beautiful ancient frescoes of the life of Jesus and magnificent glazing above the altar.
