Avallon Off The Beaten Path Tips by Lilasel

Enjoy the sunset...

It was the first thing I have noticed when arrived to Burgundy - the sky. Perfect colours of the sunset, incredible bright stars, unreal white clouds...

Island

One of the gates to huge Morvan National Park! Island is a little village 6 km from Avallon where I spent much time.
The village has more than 500 years old castle - hotel at the moment.
