It is true that when the All Saints' Day holidays end, several sites close their doors to the public (in order to prepare wonders for the following year!). Never mind ! We give you ideas for outings during the low season in Puisaye-Forterre.

Ratilly Castle under the snow

What can you do from November to March?

There are essential activities to do each time you come to Puisaye-Forterre, and in winter, we do not deviate from the Toucy market Saturday morning. We linger more easily in front of certain stands, like that of the waffles Liégeoises, where the sweet smell of sugar tickles our noses.

We also take advantage of this outing to appreciate the current exhibition at the gallery of the Ancienne Poste. Note that if you missed an exhibition during the year, take advantage of the month of January to admire the retrospective from the previous year and thus find the works of the artists.

Many craftsmen keep their shops open, even in winter. This is the case for the Gallery Workshop, in Toucy or even Ratilly castle which opens the doors to the large sandstone room.
