Tonnerre, Medieval commune in Yonne, France

Located at the intersection of the Burgundy Canal and the Armançon River, Tonnerre stands at 144 meters above sea level in north-central France.

During Roman times, the settlement was called Tornodurum and functioned as the capital of Pagus Tornodorensis, controlling routes between Paris and Dijon.

The town celebrates its heritage through the Medieval People of Tonnerre festival in September and hosts wine exhibitions during Easter weekend.

The IntraMuros mobile application provides residents and visitors with current information about municipal events, local news, and community activities.

The Hôtel-Dieu Notre-Dame des Fontenilles, constructed in 1293, ranks among the largest medieval hospitals in France with its extensive architectural structure.
