Sommecaise

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Yonne

Located in the middle of the triangle formed by the towns of Toucy Aillant-sur-Tholon and Charny, this village has many charms. In addition it is only ten kilometers from exit 18 of the A6.

It is dominated by a church that is currently under construction. It was not built when Joan of Arc and her escort made the village stage. It is said that the young Lorraine would have sat in the house of Father Wolf. It has since died sixty years and, in his old house, there remains a section of wall to look after the hamlet of Chantereine, the Rue Neuve.

Once farms Sommecaise offered excellent white cheese that turned into skilled cooks delicious "cheese cooked" with a link to the flour and butter but cows have deserted fields that were then exclusively devoted to the cultivation of cereals ... And now few people still able to succeed this recipe ... However you can still find here and there to buy good chicken, cute bunnies and eggs fresh ...

Things to see and do

Waiting to go see the church restoration, with the statue of St. Martin, the top of his horse, sharing his cloak to a beggar, the ancient statue which some see St. Anne and other Notre Dame Vertu, the tombstone of a notable leaning against the right wall and the statue of St. Therese of Lisieux style of the thirties, we must find other objects of walk ...

You can choose to go walking in the direction of the village of Elm and stop the descent down to watch the current that drives the Vrin. In the 18th century, it was traveling by boat, but since its speed has decreased ... We can then decide to climb the hill closer look at the beautiful castle Bontin, unless you prefer to direct his steps to the right towards the hamlet of Rue des Merles and fountain. If one goes on the road Grandchamp, one may drink coffee and take a walk in the shop next door, which offers interesting possibilities handmade gifts from the countries of the East.
