Things to see and do

Dam Jaulnes: Jaulnes is an ancient fording point on the Petite Seine (river channeled from Marcilly-sur-Seine to Montereau-Fault-Yonne). The Roman road crossing the Seine at this location. Bridges were then constructed and that of Jaulnes disappeared with the construction of one of Bray-sur-Seine. He was replaced by a needle dam in 1886 and a lock. The regulation of the Seine level in case of floods was done by removing a larger or smaller number of "needles". The current, hydraulic dam was commissioned in 2003, is fully automated and allows the passage of convoys of 1000 tons.
