The market is really great

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 Republic Square with its statue in honor of Larousse on the edge of the old city fortifications offers nice places to stop, as Gerhard has already written. We had a drink in a bistro there. The friendly landlord didn't mind that we bought something to eat from the bakery next door. We would have liked to have experienced the market, but it only takes place on Saturdays.

The town of Toucy has very ancient origins. The region was in fact associated with the exploitation of iron during the Celtic period and until around the 3rd century. Toucy then belonged to the family of Germain, bishop of Auxerre (418-448), who donated it to his church. At the beginning of the 12th century, fortifications and a chapel were built, the latter being the only one preserved entirely in elevation and included in the current church. This is a Romanesque room. It is also on the remains of the ramparts from the beginning of the 12th century that the church leans. The enclosure was completely retaken around 1170. Its remains are still visible in the city. The location of Toucy made it a long-time source of discord between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France, particularly during the Hundred Years' War. In 1423, the city was taken and destroyed by Burgundian troops, during the time of Philip the Good. The old church, which dated from the 13th century, was ravaged on this occasion, but it was rebuilt shortly after and appropriate means were put in place to defend it. This reconstruction took place between 1445 and 1522. At the apse, we can see two fortified towers (mid-15th century): the "Bishops' Tower", equipped with gunboats and also the most impressive, as well as the "Saint-Michel Tower" are connected by a walkway which only received battlements at the end of the 19th century during a rather drastic restoration of the monument. The nave dates from the 16th century. Not far from the church, below, on the Market Square, you can see a beautiful brick and half-timbered house (16th century). https://bourgognemedievale.com/departement-et-pays/yonne/pays-puisaye-forterre/toucy/

The origin of the castle dates back to the 11th century, but its current appearance is mainly the result of work carried out in the 15th century. It serves as the backdrop for a historic sound and light show. Jean d'Ormesson lived there part of his childhood. The town center of St Fargeau is rich in historical monuments, with the very beautiful St Férreol church and the Clock Tower which marks the entrance to the pedestrian (and cobbled...) streets.
