Encyclopedic overview
Noyers ( French pronunciation: [nwajɛʁ]; often referred to as Noyers-sur-Serein) is a commune in the Yonne department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in north-central France. It is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) Association.
There are half-timbered houses, ashlars, pillars and pinnacles. There are many cobbled lanes and small squares made of chalky and granitic pavements. There are towers surrounded by the river Serein loops. It has retained much of its medieval appearance with many buildings dating from the 16th century, and is a tourist destination with several restaurants, art galleries, a pottery and a museum. The centre is pedestrianised on Saturdays and Sundays in summer. The village also holds two large truffle fairs in November where locally picked fresh truffles are sold to buyers from throughout France and beyond.
