Description

Puycelsi is like an outpost of the Quercy Causses. The crossing of the village reveals architectural treasures. The route is dedicated to the cause of plants, from the Conservatory orchard to the ancestral vaults of the Grésigne oak groves.

The great forest of Grésigne:
Spread over 3526 hectares, the Grésigne forest remains today the most important forest of the Tarn and the largest oak forest (60% sessile oak, 15% pedunculate oak) of the south of France... Because no one has failed to exploit it extensively over the centuries.
Its use in regulated felling dates back to François I, who authorised the felling of 150 trees per year to transform them into staves for barrels. In the 17th century, Jean-Baptiste Colbert had it used for the framework of Louis XIV's ships. The glassmakers threw it ashore to fuel their furnaces and make a fine, bluish glass whose formula was lost. The charcoal burners cut the wood to produce charcoal, and the local residents used it for heating.
