Property for sale in Yonne

Yonne sits in the north of Burgundy, close enough to the Paris region to have long attracted second-home buyers and weekenders from the capital. Good road and rail links keep the department well connected to Paris. With a heritage shaped by wine and pilgrimage, Yonne is home to Chablis, whose crisp white wine draws visitors from around the world, and to Vézelay, whose Romanesque basilica is one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in France. Elsewhere in the department, buyers will find Auxerre's atmospheric old town, brought to life each summer by an evening sound and light show, and rolling, agricultural countryside dotted with ancient abbeys. Yonne is recognised too for offering better value than departments closer to Paris. A temperate climate brings warm summers and cool winters. Options on the market range from a townhouse in Auxerre, a vineyard property near Chablis or a stone farmhouse in the countryside, Yonne offers affordability. With wine, pilgrimage heritage and proximity to Paris, it is a department well suited to weekenders and permanent movers alike.
