​To give you a little impression :

A city and two towns

Joigny

At just 16 km distance one finds the dreamy town of Joigny with its small medieaval street leading up the hill. The atmosphere brings you hundreds of years back in time.

Toucy

CASTLES

Saint-Fargeau

Has a history of over 10 centuries. One wouldn't imagine that the pink bricks of its walls give room to an elegant court, designed by the architect Le Vau in the 17th century.  The trusses of the castle are world famous.
 

Ratilly

dating from the 13th century, a real stronghold with six towers of defence. 
​Nowadays the castle hosts a pottery and workshops for painting and music, concerts and exhibitions of contemporary art. 

Guédelon

A castle under construction !
​The construction is done by means of traditional tools and according the medeaval procedures, and this to the very detail.  There are no bullldozers, vans or cranes to be found here. Lots of spectators though.
