The Best Attractions In Vandenesse-en-Auxois
1. Abbaye de FontenayMontbard The Abbey of Fontenay is a former Cistercian abbey located in the commune of Marmagne, near Montbard, in the département of Côte-d'Or in France. It was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1118, and built in the Romanesque style. It is one of the oldest and most complete Cistercian abbeys in Europe, and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Of the original complex comprising church, dormitory, cloister, chapter house, caldarium, refectory, dovecote and forge, all remain intact except the refectory and are well maintained. The Abbey of Fontenay, along with other Cistercian abbeys, forms a connecting link between Romanesque and Gothic architectures. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
2. Abbey of ClunyCluny Cluny Abbey is a former Benedictine monastery in Cluny, Saône-et-Loire, France. It was dedicated to St Peter. The abbey was constructed in the Romanesque architectural style, with three churches built in succession from the 4th to the early 12th centuries. The earliest basilica was the world's largest church until the St. Peter's Basilica construction began in Rome.Cluny was founded by William I, Duke of Aquitaine in 910. He nominated Berno as the first Abbot of Cluny, subject only to Pope Sergius III. The abbey was notable for its stricter adherence to the Rule of St. Benedict, whereby Cluny became acknowledged as the leader of western monasticism. The establishment of the Benedictine Order was a keystone to the stability of European society that was achieved in the 11th century. In 1790... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

5. Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans (La Saline Royale)Arc Et Senans The Saline Royale is a historical building at Arc-et-Senans in the department of Doubs, eastern France. It is next to the Forest of Chaux and about 35 kilometers from Besançon. The architect was Claude-Nicolas Ledoux , a prominent Parisian architect of the time. The work is an important example of an early Enlightenment project in which the architect based his design on a philosophy that favored arranging buildings according to a rational geometry and a hierarchical relation between the parts of the project. The Institut Claude-Nicolas Ledoux has taken on the task of conservator and is managing the site as a monument. UNESCO added the Salines Royales to its List of World Heritage Sites in 1982. Today, the site is mostly open to the public. It includes, in the building the coopers used, di... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In Part 7 of this video series about traveling the waterways of France on a tug boat, Richard Goodwin takes us to his favourite place on his favourite river in France, the Saone. Some film from an earlier trip illustrates the great charms of this river. In this area there are three great abbeys, Cluny in the south which had a bigger church than St Peter's in Rome until it was destroyed in the French Revolution because the abbey had become too big and too corrupt to be allowed to continue. Vezelay where many of the crusaders mounted their horses for their struggle to restore Jerusalem to the Christian faith. In this amazing abbey, there many beautifully carved capitols on the top of the columns. They are made of marble and each must weigh more than a man can lift but they look as though they are as light as a feather, so skilfully have they been carved. The last abbey in this area is Autun which has many treasures the best being the carved capitols which depict the Nativity story.
Not far away we visit the abbey of Fontenay which had been founded by St. Bernard. Here the monks had made everything that they needed. They specialised in metalwork and became famous for it. Sadly the British sacked the abbey but the Mongolfier family who had done so much to promote the hot air balloon restored it to its former glory.
Short of food on a Monday I went to an old abbey where they ran a communal table. On this Monday, there was a group of women who had gone on a retreat there. The noise in the stone hall was unbelievable with all these women talking at the tops of their voices. The best argument for the vow of silence! We then meet a monk who shows us his cheese which he sells to the public. I asked him whether the good Lord had had a hand in its manufacture. The monk replied very sharply that the Lord made the grass grow and the monks did the rest.
We gaze at a pillar dedicated to St. Nicolas the patron saint of mariners. On the top of the column is a statue of a weeping wolf. The wolf is weeping for all the children that he has eaten.
Then my daughter, Sabine and her husband Caspar came to have a meal with some barge people by the side of the canal. Sabine made a good sauce from the rests in the galley which was good. A luxury barge passes and we see how the very rich live.
I visited next Louisa Besson, a woman of considerable confidence in her own prowess. Like Anne Baxter, I am sure she had stamped on her passport in the profession section the word 'Star'. She makes edible decorations for cakes etc, turtles, dogs, mother and child tableaux. She blows up a ball of green sugar which she confidently assures us that very few people in world besides herself can do.
Through the tunnel by boat at Pouilly en Auxois, which when it was built was considered to be an enormous achievement lies the town. In that little town is one of the most remarkable emporiums I have ever been into. Mr. Daird is the ancient proprietor and since it is clear that he has been in charge of this shop for many a year, there is a variety of goods, ancient and modern that defy description. Everything is done by hand and done by Mr. Daird himself so patience is essential. No computer bugs here.
We take a passage with some British tourists on a boat they have hired from one of the many boat hire companies along the canal. We tour some of the luscious markets of Burgundy. At Chez Meme I have a wonderful meal for $10 and do a bit of eavesdropping. At the table next door which has 5 men and one 80 year old woman who says loudly that she likes to eat with men (Godbless her) and that when she puts her makeup on she looks twenty years younger.
I go dancing at another riverside café and go off to the famous jambon persille competition. The first prize goes to an entry weighing 227.5 kgs of ham in aspic and parsley. Good luck to anyone who tries to eat it. Then Monique shows me her riverside shop and how she dries her sausages in cinders.
Finally Regina and I tie up for a blessing in the Grand Pardon at St Jean de Losne. An amazing annual ceremony, where the boat people are blessed by the river padre who arrives on his church barge.
