Merry sec

Merry-sur-Yonne is a small rural village in the Yonne department, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, set along the banks of the River Yonne. This quiet hamlet sits within a landscape typical of northern Burgundy, combining vine-covered hillsides, meadows and woodland, ideal for walking and riverside fishing. The surrounding area is known for the vineyards of the Auxerrois and Yonne wine regions, as well as its proximity to notable sites such as the Basilica of Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the town of Auxerre with its medieval old town and lively riverside quays. The Canal du Nivernais, popular for boating holidays and cycling routes, also passes through this part of the Yonne valley. Merry-sur-Yonne therefore offers a peaceful base for stays centred on nature, exploring Burgundian heritage, and enjoying regional cuisine, from Chablis wines to local specialities. The semi-continental climate, with mild summers and cool winters, suits outdoor activities for much of the year, particularly walking and cycling through the surrounding countryside.
