Located on the border between Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne, between the Albigeois area and Quercy, the village of Puycelsi is listed among the most beautiful villages in France and bears the pleasing nickname of "fortress in the woods". Perched on a promontory overlooking the Grésigne Forest, it is surrounded by over 800 metres of ramparts, behind which you will immediately fall for its medieval charm!
Come and admire the beautiful 15th and 16th-century stone, brick, half-timbered and corbelled houses; the wall walk offering magnificent views of the countryside surrounding Puycelsi; the Chapel of St. Roch built in 1703 by the inhabitants to thank the saint for protecting them from the plague; the Church of St. Cornelius, in the Southern French Gothic style, with its single nave and altarpiece dating from the 17th century; or the castle and its two round towers.
