The Secrets of the Puisaye-In the footsteps of Colette,potters & castle builders
Roughly 150km southeast of Paris, this one-day tour takes you to the heart of the unspoilt Puisaye region of northern Burgundy. Situated between 2 major lines of communication, the Loire to the west and the river Yonne to the east, the Puisaye is a secretive place where time seems to stand still. This very rural area, made up of forests, lakes and fields bordered by hedgerows, also offers the visitor a host of cultural and historical sites. Your trip with us will be a voyage of discovery that will lead you in the footsteps of writers, potters and medieval craftsman. The excursion will take you to visit a local pottery, the Colette museum, as well as a local church to admire the medieval paintings. Certain days are market days (St Sauveur Wednesday and Toucy Saturday). We also propose options such as a visit to a local natural wine maker! We can pick you up from your accommodation in the area or from the local train station. Please enquire for other possibilities.
