Les vallees de la vanne

The Vallées de la Vanne area is a rural district located in the Yonne department, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, around the town of Cerisiers (89320). The region takes its name from the Vanne, a river that rises locally before joining the Yonne and eventually the Seine, helping to shape the gently rolling landscapes typical of the Puisaye and Sénonais areas. This countryside is characterised by well-preserved farmland, small villages, woodland and fields, offering a peaceful setting ideal for nature-based stays. Situated between Sens and Troyes, the area benefits from relatively easy access to the main roads connecting the Paris region to Burgundy, while retaining an unspoilt, largely rural character. Activities in the surrounding area include walking and hiking, exploring traditional Burgundian heritage, and visiting nearby villages known for their stone architecture and rural churches. The climate, a degraded oceanic type, brings mild summers and cool winters, making it a pleasant destination for countryside breaks throughout the year. This area particularly suits those seeking green tourism and a quiet retreat away from busy towns and cities.
