The gastronomy
You will find in Joigny a large variaty of restaurants as the prestigious 4 stars "Le côte St Jacques".
The shop of the beekeeper "Dosnon", in Joigny again, is a greedy meeting not to be missed.
Traditional snails of Burgundy are represented by the breeding "L’escargourmet" in Parly ( 15 km from Joigny)
Cider is a speciality of "Othes" forest, region next to Joigny and nicknamed " The small Normandie"
Don’t leave the region without making a visit to the market hall of Joigny or to this one of the town centre of Toucy, (20 mn from Senan).
Wine
Whether it is to taste a "Côte St Jacques" or to taste a "Chablis" or an "Irancy", the enthusiasm of our wine growers will delight you. If you go through the vineyard of Auxerre in April, you will have the extra interest to discover it alternately with orchards of cherry trees in bloom.
