English: From this window one can see the château de la Motte, in the same location where after having razed to the ground the Renards' château-haut in 1110, Louis VI le Gros ordered the Courtenay to build another one so as to keep a close eye on their bandit cousins the Renards, counts of Joigny. Its roofs, classed as Monuments Historiques, dominate the town center.

In the background on the right of that castle, is a yellow flowering rapeseed field. Immediately beyond that field is the lieu-dit La Volve, where Louis VI le Gros ordered the Courtenay to also build a third castle and to instal their bailiff in it, still in the same idea of keeping a check on the Renards and on their activities. Immediately to the right of La Volve, we see the houses gathered around the road that lead to Châtillon-Coligny. In front of that yellow flowering rapeseed field, is the town's college of Odonna (hidden by trees), named after the Ouanne river's old name. The “ île du Canada ” is around the house with a green tarpaulin on the roof. Between this island and the castle of La Motte there is a small park beyond which we can see, slightly on the right, some cars parked in the Place de l'Ancien Marché (the Old Market Place). The house called “ maison Jeanne d'Arc ” is the one in the town center, with very dark walls. It is located Place de la République and at the begining of Rue Aristide Briand. Just after this house we can see the first bridge in that street.

On the horizon line on the right, is the Bois de Bourdillon (Bourdillon Wood), with immediately on its left the housing estate of Rue des Sorbiers and Rue de Mocqueberry.
Français : De cet endroit on voit le château de la Motte, sur l'emplacement de celui que Louis VI le Gros avait en 1110 commandé aux Courtenay de bâtir afin de surveiller leurs brigands de cousins les Renard, comtes de Joigny. Sa toiture classée domine le coeur de la ville.

En arrière-plan à droite du château de la Motte on voit un champ de colza en fleur (très jaune). Juste derrière ce champ se trouve le lieu-dit de la Volve où Louis VI le Gros avait dans la même foulée ordonné, toujours aux Courtenay, de construire un château, qui n'existe plus mais dont il reste des bâtiments annexes transformés en maisons, et d'y installer leur bailli, dans le même but de surveillance des Renard et de leur château démoli par ses soins en 1110. Immédiatement à droite de ce lieu, on voit les maisons groupées autour de la Route de Châtillon-Coligny. Devant ce même champ de colza en fleur, se trouve le collège d'Odonna (caché par les arbres), nommé d'après l'ancien nom de l'Ouanne. L'île du Canada, avec son Quai des brumes, est autour de la maison dont le toit est recouvert d'une bâche verte. Entre cette île et le château de la Motte se trouve un petit parc au-delà duquel on voit légèrement à droite des voitures garées sur la Place de l'Ancien Marché. La maison Jeanne d'Arc est celle aux murs les plus foncés, dans le milieu de la ville, Place de la République et au début de la Rue Aristide Briand dont on aperçoit le parapet en pierre de son premier pont. Sur la ligne d'horizon à l'extrême droite c'est le Bois de Bourdillon, avec le lotissement de la Rue des Sorbiers et Rue de Mocqueberry immédiatement à sa gauche.
