Chablis and Yonne Region

Chablis is the most northerly and most isolated of the five districts of Burgundy. Historically, the region, which offers waterways to Paris, has been ideally situated for the viticulture industry. However, its northerly location also presents the threat of night frosts and frosts in late spring and September.

In the town of Chablis there are some houses with cellars that date back to the 13th century. In the middle of town is the church of St-Martin with a religious treasury and decorative wrought-iron covering its doors. The Maison du Vin is near the Hostellerie des Clos, supplying tourist information.
