Treigny perreuse ste colombe

Treigny-Perreuse-Sainte-Colombe is a commune in the Yonne department of Burgundy, set within the Puisaye region, a landscape of hedgerows, ponds and woodland. The village of Treigny is particularly known for its Saint-Vincent church, a large flamboyant Gothic building sometimes nicknamed the 'cathedral of Puisaye' owing to its impressive scale for such a rural setting. Nearby lies Guédelon, a well-known project where a medieval-style castle is being built using period tools and techniques, drawing visitors keen to see traditional crafts practised on site. The Puisaye area also has a long-standing pottery tradition, thanks to its local clay, with several stoneware workshops still active in the surrounding villages. The gentle countryside, dotted with ponds and quiet lanes, is well suited to walking, cycling and exploring rural Burgundian heritage. The climate is semi-continental, with mild summers and cool winters. This makes for a peaceful stay combining cultural visits with nature, while Auxerre and the Chablis vineyards remain within easy reach for a day trip.
