Nestled at the gateway to the Morvan Regional Natural Park, Avallon captivates with its medieval charm and preserved heritage. Surrounded by its ramparts, it overlooks the Cousin Valley, offering superb panoramic views from its towers, including the 15th-century clock tower (49 m). Perched on a granite spur, its historic quarter unfolds around the Collegiate Church of Saint-Lazare (whose origins date back to the 8th century) and reveals picturesque old houses. A gastronomic and cultural capital, Avallon is ideally located for exploring the remarkable sites surrounding our hotel, including the vineyards of Burgundy, the superb green landscapes of the Morvan, and of course, Vézelay, a major pilgrimage site on the Way of St. James, an essential tourist and spiritual stop with its Romanesque basilica and sacred hill, both listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. UNESCO.
Between history, nature and local produce, Avallon is a prime destination for an authentic stay in Burgundy-Franche-Comté.
