Colette Heritage Sites in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye
Highlight • Historical Site
“And if you passed between the mown meadows, at the time when the sun streams on the round stacks which are the dunes of my country, you would feel your heart open to their perfume.”
Colette..., "The tendrils of the vine".
Driving around the area can also provide an opportunity to experience this.

Château de Saint-Fargeau
Highlight • Castle
At the beginning of the 13th century, Jean de Toucy, a close confidant of Louis the Saint, built a pentagonal castle made of iron sandstone.
His daughter married Thibaut de Bar in 1255. The House of Bar ruled the Puisaye countryside until the end of the Hundred Years' War, which drove them into bankruptcy.
In 1450, the castle and lands became the property of the richest man in France at the time, Jacques Coeur. He was financier to King Charles VII of France. Shortly thereafter, Coeur was arrested and dispossessed by the Crown.
In 1453, Antoine de Chabannes, a former soldier and close confidant of Joan of Arc, bought the entire property. As an enthusiastic military expert, he converted the first castle into a strong fortress. He covered the walls with a thick covering of bricks and built 6 massive and contemporary fortified towers at all corners.

Perreuse Old Linden Tree and Historic Village
Highlight • Settlement
The village has many very old houses dating back to the 16th century. It is also distinguished by a remarkable tree, an old lime tree planted under Henri IV on the site of a fortified castle which has now disappeared. The small church is also remarkable.
