A beautiful sandy beach with a great view over the Lac du Bourdon. In the main season there is a small gastronomic offer.

Church of Saint-Fargeau

Highlight • Religious Site

The church wasn't that interesting inside. There is quite a lot that needs to be renovated.

Château de Saint-Fargeau

Highlight • Castle

The origins of the castle date back to the tenth century. Around 980, Heribert, the bishop of Auxerre, built a fortified hunting lodge.
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.

The “clock tower” or belfry, classified MH, is a fortified building at one of the old city gates. It is surmounted by a steeple restored in the 2000s, making an exact copy made compulsory by its very poor state of conservation. Its frame, including a succession of grooves leading to an octagonal plan, is particularly elaborate and a remarkable witness to the know-how of the time. (Source: Wikipedia)
