Marked route No. 114.Discover the remains of open-air ochre pits and mines, the Sauilly ochre factory and its drying kiln.

Starting from the main car park at the foot of the town hall, discover the village wash house. After crossing the Ouanne, a country walk begins along narrow roads leading to local hamlets and fairly well-shaded paths.

Whilst the Ouanne was long thought to rise in the heart of the village of the same name, its true source was discovered by chance. It is in fact the Source de Lisis that originally feeds this river. It starts out underground, then resurfaces at Pierrefite-le-Bas and is swelled by a few springs emerging from the hillsides; the main resurgence is in the village of Ouanne and gives rise to the river (a miniature version of the Fosse Dionne).

From castle to castle from the village of Treigny, taking in Ratilly and Guédelon, via Perreuse and its former barony, to reach Druyes-les-Belles-Fontaines and the view of its fortified castle.

Marked route No. 85After a section through the woods and then in the open, the gardens below Lac du Bourdon offer a superb panorama of rows of spillways channelled by walls built of Puisaye sandstone. Then, following part of the lake, return to the bathing area and the car park.

The route is entirely within the park. It is signposted with signs bearing the words ‘L’arbre à vœux’.There is an admission charge for this park; see here for current prices. As well as the wild animals roaming freely and the chance to explore the park’s natural environment, this imposing oak tree with its very low-hanging branches offers visitors the opportunity to mark their visit by tying a ribbon bearing a wish to it. It’s a deeply symbolic gesture that might just open the door to a wonderful legend.

Marked route No. 86A short route combining part of the lake shore and sunken paths in the undergrowth. Depending on the water level of the lake, the shore may be preferable to the path.

Explore the lake, its ponds and feeding streams. Walk through the woodland along sandy paths or small roads. Beautiful views on both sides of the lake’s dam. This reservoir is the first in a long series upstream that feeds the Briare Canal.
