Treigny: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Église Saint-Symphorien in Treigny is a 15th-century church and was classified as a Monument historique by decree of 15 June 1939. Due to its large dimensions, it is often called the “Cathedral of Puisaye” in the town centre; a family-friendly walking trail passes by it, follows the Vrille near its source and crosses a ford on a small stone bridge.

For travellers wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Treigny, finding accommodation is a central part of planning the trip.

Culture and Crafts

During guided tours, Château de Ratilly presents pottery-making from clay extraction through to firing. The tour includes a workshop visit as well as demonstrations of pottery-making and other stages of the process.

Le Couvent de Treigny presents three exhibitions of contemporary ceramics every year from April to November. It is housed in a former convent whose origins date back to the 15th century and which was restored by the municipality of Treigny in 2003. Le Couvent de Treigny also offers courses for adults and modelling workshops for children and families.

Nature

The Vrille Valley characterises Treigny's preserved landscapes. A network of signposted paths invites visitors to go hiking.

The Parc Animalier de Boutissaint covers 400 hectares of woodland with 400 animals living in semi-liberty. These include red deer, fallow deer and wild boar; European bison and mouflon live in enclosures. The park can be explored on foot, by bicycle, on horseback or in a buggy accompanied by a guide. Enclosures separated by species make it easier for people with reduced mobility to observe the animals.

History and Activities

At Guédelon, craftspeople build a 13th-century castle every day in a former quarry in front of visitors. Guédelon offers workshops for adults and children. Facilities include visitor parking, toilets, a restaurant and a boutique.
