Chablis, France tourist information
Chablis is in the Yonne department of the northern Burgundy region, 15km south of Pontigny.
You will most likely visit Chablis to sample the wine, but the town itself also deserves an exploration - it is a pretty place with some attractive medieval houses, some with ornate door and window openings, and a few features of interest to discover:
- the churches of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Martin (see the horseshoes left on the door by pilgrims in the olden-days)
- the ancient lavoir (public linen washing area)
- the synagogue (a classified historic monument)
- a pretty stretch along the Serein River
You will of course be in the perfect place to enjoy a glass or two of the renowned local wine after you have explored Chablis - wine has been produced in Chablis since the year 854 when monks first settled here, and is now recognised worldwide as one of the best light white wines.
