A former priory from the 13th century, listed as a historical monument and nestled in the Morvan regional nature park in Burgundy. Saint-Jean-des-Bonshommes priory was a monastery that was part of the Order of Grandmont. It was built at the start of the 13th century where an antique sanctuary once stood. Anséric VI, Seigneur of Montréal, ordered construction of the edifice. The monastery underwent the French Wars of Religion in the 16th century. And in 1772, when Pope Clement XIV disbanded the Order of Grandmont, it was made available to the diocesan archbishop. Following the French Revolution, the monastery was sold as national property in 1791 and became a family property up to 1846 when it was damaged by a fire that destroyed most of the monastic buildings. The church, however, survived this fire. In 1880, it became a source of stones as building material, rather like an open quarry. Moved by this fate, a learned society acquired the edifice in 1905, requested that it be listed as a historical monument and set about restoring the edifice. The remaining church is characteristic of the architectural principles of the Order of Grandmont. It is the most imposing edifice in this monastic complex. It has a plain elevation without a door, a single nave and a closed chancel, beneath a brick barrel vault that stretches to a half-dome above an apse with three windows. The chapel’s elevations are made of different stones. The lower ones, evenly sized, are neatly carved blocks and the upper ones, raw rubble stones, lie where the vault rises up. The apse is ornamented outside with four elegant built-in columns. The remains of the monastic buildings have been preserved, including the cloister arches, the elegant arcades of the chapterhouse and part of the walls of the pantries and refectory. The church has a roof of barrel ties, with conical tiles for the apse, made in a local tile factory.

In Burgundy, in Tonnerre, on the banks of a canal of the Armançon, stands an elegant 18th-century private mansion listed as a historic monument. Located on the main street of the town of Tonnerre, near the Marguerite de Bourgogne hospices, the mansion opens through an imposing porch with a carriage door operated by a wrought-iron mechanism unchanged since its construction. Formerly the property of the sister of Charles d'Éon de Beaumont, known as the Chevalier d'Éon, ambassador in the service of Louis XV, it consists of two symmetrical pavilions without a central body. The roofs and façades, listed as historic monuments, have been recently restored. While the elevations, rendered and simple, punctuated by bays with flattened or straight arches and small-paned joinery, are markers of the 18th century, the roofs of small regional flat tiles, with three or four slopes and coyaux, along with their stone dormers with lowered arches, are particularly characteristic of local architecture. Finally, the park, dotted with ancient oaks and plane trees, extends to the banks of the canal of the Armançon, offering the absolute calm of nature in the heart of the city.This description has been automatically translated from French.

An 18th century listed private mansion, wooded parkland, lodges and outbuildings, in the historic centre of a Burgundy town. The private mansion stands in a tree-lined square. A double carriage entrance opens onto a paved passageway covered with an antique carpet. The passageway leads to an inner courtyard, flanked by the two wings of the main dwelling and enclosed by an elegant listed wrought iron gate leading to the parkland. Planted with trees and flowers, it is criss-crossed by well-designed paths lined with stone benches and ancient statues, hidden in the lush vegetation. A stone well backs onto the property, which also boasts a heated swimming pool and two lodges with restored facades. Slightly set back, a timber-framed house and its greenhouse were once the caretaker's lodge.
