In the 5th century, the lands of Guerchy had been bequeathed to the Abbey of Auxerre by Saint Germain who had inherited them from his parents. In 1440, Jehan Régnier, bailiff of Auxerre, acquired the lands. Then he received from Charles the Bold the lordship of Guerchy, which remained in the Régnier family until his last descendant, who died unmarried in 1852. Adrien de Régnier had built, at the beginning of the 17th century, a castle that is known to have been sumptuous. His granddaughter Claude, "La Belle de Guerchy", lady of Bazarnes and maid of honor to Anne of Austria, received the Grand Condé there, exiled after the Fronde. He participated in the embellishments of the church.

The current bishop, François II de Dinteville, spent a number of years in Rome as ambassador to Francis I. When he returned to France, he brought with him Italian artists, in particular painters to whom he commissioned for the churches of his diocese. We are at the time of the first Renaissance which inherits the flamboyant Gothic where everything was decoration: profusion, abundance, luxuriance...

ST-BAUDEL CHAPEL In the 16th century, the S'-Serge and S'-Bach church in Pourraln proved insufficient to celebrate offices. The canons took charge of the reconstruction of the choir while that of the nave was the responsibility of the parishioners. The first stone was laid in 1540. It was necessary to find a new place of worship to celebrate the services. The birth of the S'-Baudel Chapel therefore precedes the reconstruction of the choir of the church of Pourrain. It served as a place of worship for nearly 60 years as the church choir was completed in 1599. Inside, there is no sculpted decoration, except the beautiful arch of a swimming pool, but the richness of the painted vault is extremely surprising. The barrel vault is paneled, wood is not expensive in Puisaye. But this painted decoration: why have you made a rudimentary chapel if you wanted to incur such decoration costs?

One tends to underestimate the town of Pourrain when driving from Toucy to Auxerre on the D965. This road only affects the town and does not give a favorable image of this beautiful town. The climb to the church, the church itself and the square in front of the church form a very beautiful ensemble. The village is located on a hill that dominates 3 surrounding valleys. Saint Serge Church is a very large church with a unique tower. The main tower with a large bell house and beautiful church clock is in the shape of a richly decorated keep. On the west side there is a slender tower that towers over the main tower and is equipped with shooting stocks.

Magnificent little pond for lunch or a break, or to get to know the many mallards resting on the bank. The pond has a picnic table as well as several benches around it.

When I arrived in Parly, I immediately noticed the church. The octagonal church tower, which looks a bit too short, impresses with the finest stone carving. The lavishly designed windows in the area of the bells are richly decorated. If you then walk around the otherwise rather small and squat church, the next surprise comes: a portal that you otherwise only see on cathedrals. Quadruple chiseled columns with portal arches.

The Saint-Sébastien church, although remodeled in the 15th century, is an important testimony of Romanesque art in Puisaye with its octagonal bell tower of Cluniac inspiration and its sculpted portal restored in 2002, the ocher-veined stone before weakened the sumptuous decorations.
