Puisaye, a little-known gem of Burgundy

Published on7 November 2024 13:127 December 2024 13:30 Amended on7 December 2024 13:30

Located just 150 kilometres south of Paris, Puisaye is a little-known region that deserves your full attention. With its bucolic landscapes, dense forests and charming villages, it is an ideal destination for lovers of nature and tranquillity. Characterised by its historic heritage and passionate craftsmen, Puisaye offers an authentic experience for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

Puisaye is above all famous for its rich past, particularly as a land of inspiration for the famous writer Colette. Born in Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye in 1873, she drew much of her work from the region's landscapes and rural life. Visitors can explore the places that shaped her life, including her former childhood home, which has been converted into a museum.

But Puisaye is not just about its literary heritage. It is also a land of traditional crafts, with many leather, wood and ceramic artisans. Local products, such as pottery from the famous Mézilles earthenware factory, bear witness to an ancestral know-how that attracts many visitors. Local markets, often held at weekends, are the perfect place to discover these unique creations.

Finally, the puisaye is dotted with footpaths that invite you to explore its picturesque landscapes. The Saint-Sauveur forest, for example, offers a number of routes suitable for all abilities. As you stroll along, you can admire the local flora and fauna, and perhaps even come across forgotten castles and Romanesque churches.
