Venture out of the city with trips to Rochers du Saussois (in Merry-sur-Yonne), Eglise Saint-Hilaire (in Bazoches) and Parc Naturel de Boutissaint (in Treigny). The adventure continues: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Église Saint Eusèbe, take in nature's colorful creations at Abbaye de Fontenay, and admire the masterpieces at Musee Saint-Germain.
