Avallon is a fortified town that lies between two ravines overlooking the Vallée du Cousin. It is a quiet market town now, and is ideally situated for venturing into the heavily forested Morvan region.
Abbey-de-Fontenay is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and quite rightly so. This is a magnificent series of buildings nestled in a unique valley setting.
The location of Camping Municipal Sous Roche close to Avallon and the Morvan region makes it the ideal base for visits to the Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine and Vézelay, Semur-en-Auxois, the Basilique Saint-Andoche at Saulieu, Abbey de Fontenay, L'Abbaye Sainte Marie de la Pierre-Qui-Vire, Montréal, Lormes and numerous other picturesque villages and sites of historical interest.
