Champvallon, village of Puisaye-Forterre

Champvallon is a village of 675 inhabitants, located in the natural region of Puisaye-Forterre, on the edge of the forests and ponds that characterize this land. A land of clay and hedgerows, the Puisaye is renowned for its potters (Treigny, Saint-Amand-en-Puisaye) and its preserved landscapes. The village of Champvallon, with its town hall and church, retains the authentic charm of the villages of rural Yonne.

A moment of community solidarity

Beyond entertainment, the Fête de Champvallon is an act of community solidarity. The profits from the refreshment stands and entertainment often help to finance local associative activities or municipal projects. This mutualist aspect, typical of French rural festivals, strengthens the social bond in a village where every inhabitant is known and recognized.
