Local Towns
There is much to do, how about visting the unique Fosse Dionne in nearby Tonnerre.
Canoeing
Hire local canoes and sail down the nearby rivers. This great spot is just a few minutes from Vezelay.
The Source of the Seine
Why not enjoy a day in beautiful Dijon and on the way back visit the source of the Seine. If nothing else it's nice to say you've been there!
Cycling
This area is perfect for cycling, it's flat and the open roads are safe and quiet. There are some bikes at the house so there really is no excuse not to get out there!

Amusement Park
Nigloland is France's third largest amusement park and just an hour's drive to the north. It really is a great family day out. Check out the website

AJ Auxerre play in French Ligue 2 and their matches are a great opportunity to experience football in Europe, and if you're fed up with ticket prices in England how about prices starting at about 10 euros! Games normally KO on a Friday evening at 8pm
