Clamecy area
Clamecy is locally described as the Capital of the valleys of the Yonne and classified under the French tourist criteria "Station Verte de Vacances" (centre for outdoor activity–based vacations) and among the "Plus Beau Détour de France" (most beautiful routes in France).
The afternoon of Bastille Day (July 14th) is also the date on which the Tournament du Roi Sec takes place on the Yonne river at Clamecy. The tournament is a light-hearted, water-borne jousting competition, in which the last person left standing on their specially adapted rowing boat at the end of the afternoon is crowned 'the dry King', and carried through the streets by his opponents.
This activity is only practices in two other towns throughout France. In the summer months, Clamecy is home to the Festival des Perthuis, a one month long music festival, in which a variety of venues scattered across the town play host to visiting musicians (two or three times a week) catering for all musical tastes.
