Discover the town of Avallon. Here's a challenge for our frog. Following the arrows on the ground, our friendly frog will tell you all about Avallon's history.

Let our frog guide you along this walking tour. He'll take you through the town - along the ramparts, where towers, bastions and watchtowers will charm you. Our frog will take you on a 26-stop tour of the town's many remarkable buildings, both civil and religious, picturesque streets with medieval accents, and here and there, picturesque details nestled on the facades of houses, and magnificent balconies, most of which date from the 18th and 19th centuries. In Avallon, you have to look up! Outside the medieval city, urban development projects have created monumental vistas since the 18th century. The Terreaux Vauban, where Bartholdi's 19th-century statue of the Marshal is enthroned. And magnificent views over the Cousin valley and the Morvan countryside, where the town of Avallon ends. A shady terrace is the perfect place to rest and enjoy these views. Come and enjoy the peace and quiet that has made and continues to make our town so proud. A journey back in time, with family or friends, at your own pace. https://www.ville-avallon.fr/circuit-decouverte-de-la-grenouille/
