Located on the heights of the village of Aillant-sur-Tholon (*), in
the department of Yonne, the Sainte Anne hermitage chapel is the last
hermitage in the department that remains in good condition.
Built in the XIIth century and restored in the XVIIth, the chapel
is maintained by an association :
ASSOCIATION de SAUVEGARDE
de la
CHAPELLE ERMITAGE SAINTE ANNE
Created in 1975 on the initiative of the inhabitants of Aillant-sur-Tholon
and of their priest of the time, this
association organizes events and publishes a booklet. These
actions make it possible for the chapel to be maintained and allow
its visit.
The vault can be visited only by appointment by calling 03.86.63.42.32
. It is also open during the national "heritage
days" that take place in September.
(*) the village of Aillant-sur-Tholon is in
the department of Yonne, in the Burgundy region. It is located
about 150 kilometres south of Paris and 23 kilometres northwest
