The entire village of St Sauveur en Puisaye seems to vibrate in the name of Colette, the local child, author of “Blé en herbe” and the “Claudine” series. His name and his memory are disseminated throughout the village through the Colette house (his birthplace) located on rue Colette, the Colette Museum installed in the castle, as well as the murals which adorn the streets. But it is also a charming village and the surrounding countryside offers many small country roads. “And if you passed between the mown meadows, at the time when the sun streams on the round stacks which are the dunes of my country, you would feel your heart open to their perfume.” Colette..., "The tendrils of the vine". Driving around the area can also provide an opportunity to experience this.
