Nature and landscape
The Type 1 ZNIEFF "Vallon et coteaux entre Chamoux et Chatel-Censoir" lists Chamoux as one of three municipalities in the Yonne département. The protected area comprises a narrow valley crossed by the Ruisseau de Chamoux, with wet meadows, floodable woodland, ponds and some areas used for agriculture. The ZNIEFF is also home to the monkey orchid (Orchis simia), a legally protected orchid described as very rare in Burgundy.
Culture and prehistory
Cardoland's prehistoric museum can be visited independently; for groups, a guided tour is available by reservation. It explains the development of life on Earth using documents, fossils and reproductions.
The church of Chamoux is one of the landscape viewpoints presented in the landscape assessment of the Communauté de communes Avallon-Vézelay-Morvan.
