The 'Puisaye Nivernaise' District, with its rich clay soil and history, is a gateway to Burgundy.Its six villages offer so much diversity to visitors:

from the Middle Ages (Saint Verain), to potteries (Saint Amand), ponds (Dampierre), the Valley of the Kings (Bitry), Carriès's sculptures (Arquian) and the beautifully restored Blot windmill (Bouhy).

- Saint Pélerin's miraculous fountain in Bouhy

- Marie Casimir de la Grange d’Arquian, Queen of Poland

- Sunken lanes and high banks

- The secret mix of clay, water and natural colouring used by generations of potters

- The brick castle in St-Amand- Morning mists over the ponds (Angelier in Dampierre, La Forge in St-Amand). The 'Puisaye Nivernaise' District, so secretive, so full of history, legends and savoir-faire, is opening up to you. Preserve the area, as it is the secret of its authenticity.
