Château de la Motte-Mitton
Highlight • Castle
During the 100 Years' War, Toucy was burned and razed (1423). In the 16th century, a new castle was built outside the walls by Aymard de Prie at a place called Motte Miton. The latter was replaced in the 18th century by the current castle attributed to the Marquis de la Perratière (long main building framed on one side by round towers topped with lanterns and on the other by square pavilions). You can still see the remains of the 16th century building (bases of the towers).

The castle cannot be visited. But there are other properties to admire along the avenue.

Château de Saint-Fargeau
Highlight • Castle
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.

Bust of Pierre Larousse
Highlight • Other
His monument is located in the middle of the Place de la République. A nice square with 2 cafes and 2 restaurants. On one side you can see medieval city walls.
Every Saturday there is a large food market between this square and the church with mostly regional products.
