Tonnerre, France tourist information
Tonnerre is a town in Burgundy to the east of Auxerre.
A pleasant town, there are a couple of main highlights:
- the medieval hospital complex, constructed at the end of the 13th century and at that time one of the largest in France, and
- the Fosse Dionne, a natural water source developed as a circular lavoir in the 18th century and with water of a green-blue colour you would expect in a Yellowstone pool!
Tonnerre is well placed to explore this impressive part of Burgundy and especially along the Canal de Bourgogne towards Tanlay Castle, Ancy-le-Franc, the abbey at Fontenay and Semur-en-Auxois.
