Tissey

Tissey is a small rural commune in the Yonne department, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, located in the Serein valley, not far from the medieval town of Noyers-sur-Serein. This quiet village is set within a typical landscape of northern Burgundy, combining wooded hills, meadows and nearby vineyards, including those of the well-known Chablis wine region close by. The peaceful, unspoilt surroundings make it a suitable base for nature-focused stays, walking and exploring local heritage, from small rural churches to traditional stone buildings characteristic of the area. The nearby town of Noyers-sur-Serein, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France, offers well-preserved medieval architecture, including timber-framed houses and old ramparts. Wine enthusiasts can also explore the surrounding wine routes, particularly those leading towards Chablis, renowned for its white wines. The semi-continental climate brings moderately warm summers and cool winters, typical of this part of Burgundy. Tissey is particularly well suited to travellers seeking tranquillity and unspoilt countryside, away from busier tourist areas.
