PRIORY OF SAINT-JEAN-DES-BONSHOMMES
Monastery in the forest of Plausse, it has a cloister with a church, monks' room and hosts the lapidary museum.
In the forest of Plausse, this monastery of the order of Grandmont was built at the beginning of the 13th century on a 200 hectare estate. In 1280, it housed 13 religious. Looted several times, the priory became a family property until 1846, when a fire consumed a large part of the premises. The Société d'études d'Avallon bought the place in 1905 and protected what remained of the site before installing the lapidary museum. The monastery is composed of buildings scattered around a cloister with a church, a corridor for the dead, a monks' room, a chapter house, a refectory and a kitchen.
