Tips from the Community
Eutropius, 1st bishop of Saintes, and martyr, converted many people in the poor districts of Saintes, including Eustelle, the governor's daughter. Hilary was, in the middle of the 4th century, the first bishop of Poitiers known with certainty and one of the great Christian authors. Exiled for having defended the Trinitarian faith in a Gaul acquired to Arianism, he wrote his most famous work, the De Trinitate, and returned from the East to end his days in Poitiers in 367 or 368. (diocese of Poitiers - some saints from Poitou and elsewhere).

These two bridges connect to each other and link Isle d'Yonne to the town of Sens. A beautiful view of the city and the river is offered to you by crossing one and/or the other of these two bridges.

The Saint-Maurice de Sens church is a 12th century Catholic church located on the banks of the Yonne. There you can admire the architecture and works of art of the church, such as the main altar, the statue of the Virgin in Majesty and the statue of Saint-Maurice on horseback. The church is only open a few days a year, but you can attend mass there every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. The church is also a good starting point for discovering the town of Sens and its rich heritage.

The covered market, inaugurated in 1882, is a typical example of 19th century metal architecture: this covered hall with a triangular shape, in the Baltard style, is one of the rare models of this type in France. In 2015, the building was renovated and restored to its former glory. see Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/March%C3%A9_couvert_de_Sens

This church dates back to the 12th century. It is beautifully located on the island of Sens, where the Yonne divides. Unfortunately, this church is only open a few days a year, but you can attend mass every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89glise_Saint-Maurice_de_Sens

Well the name of the pass is probably correct but it is not about the Alps! The climb contains a segment at 10%.

Very nice experience on a road bike, the hills are quite steep on both sides (~ 7%). There is a small parking lot at this place to land.
