Located in the Armançon valley, Tonnerre, a small Burgundian town, is on the road to Saint Jacques de Compostelle.
The Armançon and its reach, the mysterious waters of the Fosse Dionne and the Burgundy Canal, gave it the name of little Burgundian Venice. La Fosse Dionne, with its many legends, was built on a spring in 1758 by Louis d’Eon, the grandfather of the famous Chevalier. Around a circular basin, the washhouse is arranged in an arc with 4 chimneys. These were used to prepare fires in order to recover the ash used to wash and launder the laundry. The 14-meter diameter basin offers an extraordinary spectacle thanks to its turquoise waters and its yawning chasm.
