Avize: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The PR134 Circuit d'Avize Village trail runs through forests and vineyards, connecting this landscape with views of the wine-growing region and the village of Avize. As a circular route, it is 4.3 kilometres long, takes 1 hour and 30 minutes, and starts at Parc Vix or Place Léon-Bourgeois in Avize.

Anyone considering Avize as a place to stay will want to rent a holiday apartment there.

Culture

The circular route through Avize leads to Saint-Nicolas Church. Its interior features Gothic vaults, statues and stained-glass windows. The church houses the painting “Le Denier de César”. It dates from the first quarter of the 17th century and is attributed to the painter Orazio Borgiani. It has been classified as a protected object since 25 July 2002.
