Deep in the forest, discover the Camp des Fraichots, a key site of the Morvan Resistance during the Second World War.

A pleasant short hike through forests, streams, hamlets and magnificent panoramas with, on a clear day, a view of the Auvergne volcanoes...

At a height of 821 metres, Mont Beuvray offers a wide range of activities, including a visit to the archaeological site of the Bibracte oppidum, the Bibracte Museum dedicated to Gallic civilisation, and numerous walking opportunities such as the ramparts tour or long-distance hiking trails such as theGR®13orGR®131. And if, by chance, mist descends on the area at the end of your hike, the atmosphere it creates is sure to give you goose bumps.

A unique historical site, Bibracte was a fortified town or oppidum, built on the summit of Mont Beuvray at the end of the 2nd century. In addition to its protected natural area (labelled "Grand Site de France" within the Morvan Regional Nature Park), it offers an exceptional archaeological site. The Chemin de Maraude is a 3 km route combining viewpoints, excavation sites and walks through forests and clearings.

A beautiful hike through the woods. Beautiful scenery and colours. Many thanks to Dédé and Doudou for making the path passable again by clearing it and building this footbridge over the Dragne.

A lovely cycle ride on a standard or electric bike, taking you on a journey of discovery through the forests of Haut-Folin along quiet country lanes. A 1,000-metre climb for a lovely ride lasting just under 3 hours.

The official name of the hike is: "Towards the Méchet Valley, from Bibracte to La Grande Verrière".From the Bibracte car park, leave the forest and set off to explore the Méchet Valley, with its pretty villages and small heritage sites, a beautiful discovery in the South Morvan. Breathe in the fresh air, you are in the Grand Site de France "Bibracte Morvan des Sommets".

The ancient oppidum of Bibracte was the largest city of the Aedui, a very powerful Gallic people one hundred years before our era. The largest rampart dates from the2nd century BCE, is 7 km long and was built before the smaller one, which is 5 km long, thus reducing the space. It was built on the principle of the murus gallicus, a construction made of earth solidified by interlocking layers of horizontal beams with a dry stone facing, an architectural technique admired by Caesar. This beautiful walk gives a glimpse of the grandeur of this ancient city as you follow in the footsteps of the Gauls through the majestic forest of Mont Beuvray.

South of Le Beuvray, the landscape changes dramatically: you emerge from the forests and the view stretches further afield; the colour shifts from pine green to the spring green of the hills, and the small pastures bordered by low stone walls are a delight for the white cows. From ponds to mills, following the streams, water is an integral part of the southern Morvan.

This hike offers an escape to the time of the Eduens in the Morvan Forest. There are many explanatory panels and beautiful views. As it is not very long, it can be complemented by a visit to the Bibracte Museum, known as the "Museum of Celtic Civilisation", in the car park.

A three-day hike starting from Bibracte, with no major difficulties apart from the length of the first stage. By observing the landscape and the place names, you’ll be transported back to the days of the timber raftsmen who used streams and then rivers to transport timber to Paris, via the Yonne and the Seine. A thriving industry that provided work for thousands of people in the Morvan fromthe 16th century until 1926.

First part of a three-day hike exploring the landscapes of the Southern Morvan. This first stage is long and difficult; it is possible to split it into two by staying overnight at “La Rivière” near Crot Morin. The Gorges de la Canche are a sensitive site classified as a Natura 2000 area; it is essential to preserve it and to be discreet. This magnificent site can only be accessed in good weather, never after a storm, snow or ice. A track allows you to bypass it if necessary.

The source of the Yonne (and its archaeological site) and Mont Preneley (the highest point in the Nièvre department) lie at the geographical centre of this circular route. It passes through beautiful forests and some farmland, offering numerous panoramic views of the Morvan. It skirts the elegant Rangère pond, passes through several hamlets and the pretty village of Glux-en-Glenne, and ends at the small yet photogenic waterfalls on the young Yonne.

A rural, hilly hike that alternates between meadows and woodland. Some sections are paved but on low-traffic local roads. The Moulin des Garriaux and its picturesque pond, followed by the Étang Boiré, add to the appeal of this walk. If you love peace and quiet, you will love this hike.

A predominantly forest walk through the Bois du Roi, leading to the summit of Haut Folin, the peak of the Morvan and thus of Burgundy.

The second stage of this circular Beuvray will take you on a journey of discovery through pretty villages and beautiful landscapes. Little by little, you climb through the forest towards Beuvray, the summit where the majestic Bibracte of the Aedui stood inthe 1st century BC.
