Toucy, historic town twinned with Kusel (Germany) and birthplace of Pierre Larousse. Historic passage of Joan of Arc in the city. Visible old half-timbered houses and historic shops. With its Saturday market, Best Market in France 2019. Away from the city center, you will find an industrial zone with various brands.

The Republic Square with its statue in honor of Larousse on the edge of the old city fortifications offers nice places to stop.

The Canada goose and the reed warbler are mentioned on signs here as inhabitants of the reeds on a beautiful lake. You can walk around the lake. You will find some places to rest. The path on the old railway line is also very nice, starting here at the train station and leading over a wide arc around the city to the hill in the forest.

The path on the former railway line is awesome. Here a stream is crossed on the historic bridge. Across a meadow you come to the stream and there you will find an information board about its important task for the ecology and plant diversity here.

One tends to underestimate the town of Pourrain when driving from Toucy to Auxerre on the D965. This road only affects the town and does not give a favorable image of this beautiful town. The climb to the church, the church itself and the square in front of the church form a very beautiful ensemble. The village is located on a hill that dominates 3 surrounding valleys. Saint Serge Church is a very large church with a unique tower. The main tower with a large bell house and beautiful church clock is in the shape of a richly decorated keep. On the west side there is a slender tower that towers over the main tower and is equipped with shooting stocks.
