Mont-et-Marré walks

A hike designed to showcase the small heritage of this commune in the Nièvre, located on either side of the Canal du Nivernais: castles, beautiful farms and barns, wash houses and fountains, a beautiful variety of paths and panoramic views.

A short route or a Sunday stroll! You’ll discover the port, Châtillon Castle and the Nivernais Canal, which is very popular for boat trips.

Set off to discover two magnificent engineering structures located in Nièvre in Burgundy: the Échelle de Sardy-les-Epiry on the Canal du Nivernais and the Rigole d'Yonne. This walk follows the Canal du Nivernais along a greenway. You can admire a series of locks, 16 in total over a little more than 3 km. Your walk continues overlooking the canal, along the edge of the Rigole d'Yonne, which supplies the canal with water from Lake Pannecière.

A walk that first follows the Yonne river for several kilometres, then follows the descent of the 16 Collancelle locks.

A walk through forests and along the Yonne channel. A magnificent view of the Yonne valley from the aqueduct.

A very pleasant hike that passes at the foot of Toureau de Remondot (the highest point in the area), in the Saulières forest, near the Étang de l'Île, and ends by skirting the Château de Saulières and its chapel.

A beautiful escape at the gateway to the Morvan Regional Natural Park, along small paths, with landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see, white Charolais cattle and Morvan houses.

A very varied loop north of Bona, towards the highest point of the Monts du Nivernais (445m).

In Montigny-en-Morvan, there are several hikes. We did a combination of two hikes: Les rives du Petit Lac (12km) and Les Rives de Pannecière (8km).

Start the hike with a visit to the Romanesque church of Saint-Révérien, a Cluniac site, then continue to the Gallo-Roman site of Compierre, where the remains of the city are still visible and explained. After passing by ponds with the Montenoison hill in your sights, the path will take you to the village of Compierre, at the top of a hill dominated by a castle with a magnificent view at its foot.

From Chitry-les-Mines, home of Jules Renard, to Corbigny and back via the Yonne and the Nivernais Canal.

This hike in the Beuvron Valley is one of the most beautiful walks in the department. This route follows the ridgeline, connecting the Chapels of Grenois and Hubans and the site of the Virgin Mary in Asnan. It offers beautiful views, especially in spring when the countryside is in bloom.

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 refreshing little walk to enjoy with the family at the end of the afternoon!

A short walk around the Étang du Goulot pond, located in the village of Lormes. This is an easy walk on a well-maintained path: simply follow the path around the lake. There are picnic tables, benches, deckchairs and a fitness trail.
