The Republic Square with its statue in honor of Larousse on the edge of the old city fortifications offers nice places to stop, as Gerhard has already written. We had a drink in a bistro there. The friendly landlord didn't mind that we bought something to eat from the bakery next door. We would have liked to have experienced the market, but it only takes place on Saturdays.

The town of Toucy has very ancient origins. The region was in fact associated with the exploitation of iron during the Celtic period and until around the 3rd century. Toucy then belonged to the family of Germain, bishop of Auxerre (418-448), who donated it to his church. At the beginning of the 12th century, fortifications and a chapel were built, the latter being the only one preserved entirely in elevation and included in the current church. This is a Romanesque room. It is also on the remains of the ramparts from the beginning of the 12th century that the church leans. The enclosure was completely retaken around 1170. Its remains are still visible in the city. The location of Toucy made it a long-time source of discord between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France, particularly during the Hundred Years' War. In 1423, the city was taken and destroyed by Burgundian troops, during the time of Philip the Good. The old church, which dated from the 13th century, was ravaged on this occasion, but it was rebuilt shortly after and appropriate means were put in place to defend it. This reconstruction took place between 1445 and 1522. At the apse, we can see two fortified towers (mid-15th century): the "Bishops' Tower", equipped with gunboats and also the most impressive, as well as the "Saint-Michel Tower" are connected by a walkway which only received battlements at the end of the 19th century during a rather drastic restoration of the monument. The nave dates from the 16th century. Not far from the church, below, on the Market Square, you can see a beautiful brick and half-timbered house (16th century). https://bourgognemedievale.com/departement-et-pays/yonne/pays-puisaye-forterre/toucy/

Behind the road is the large Camping Municipal. There is a hotel with a bistro on the beach in front of the street. The other stands for crepes, fries, etc. were still closed in June. Even further west is a large picnic area in the forest. The beach is also monitored during the summer holiday season. You can rent treet boats. The water is not too cold. A beautiful, quiet, large lake for swimming.

A beautiful sandy beach on the shores of Lac du Bourdon. You can use this beach for a mid-run break or enjoy the runners' euphoria by relaxing here at the end of your run - it's up to you.

Nestled in the middle of the woods, you will find this fishing pond which offers you a nice run along its banks. The paths around the pond are well laid out due to fishing access.

From the 1890s, the tower fell into disrepair, covered with vegetation. It was first built in the 11th century. The tower was finally saved by a restoration in 2004, when several waves of works were scheduled to save the tower from ruin.
