Morthomiers walks

A short walk to fully enjoy nature and its biodiversity.

Link No. 01. A connecting walk to the ‘Le Tour de Bourges’ route, taking in the Berry Canal and its old locks, which have unfortunately been decommissioned.

Starting from the water tower at Place Séraucourt, this is a pleasant circular of around 60 kilometres, with no particular difficulties.

This walk combines a tour of the old town and its main points of interest (including the cathedral, the Palais Jacques Cœur, and streets and alleys lined with beautiful half-timbered houses) with the classic route through the Bourges marshes at the foot of the medieval town (with its many waterways and small market gardens developed since the 17th century). The route through the old town is a minimum loop for those in a hurry, but there's nothing to stop you zigzagging around it to discover little gems around every corner.

This route allows you to discover the marsh, which has been shaped since 1640, when the city of Bourges sold part of its communal land to turn it into usable gardens.The marsh workers surrounded these marshes with outer ditches, dug inner ditches and established service roads.You will discover this work and these gardeners through a superb family walk.

This route allows you to grasp the history of this market town that gave its name to the Quincy vineyards. The market town of Quincy is nestled around its marshes at the foot of its church and castle. This historic market town originated from Quinciacus, the Villa of Quincius, mentioned in documents from the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris as early as the 7th century. Agricultural development took place in concentric circles: gardens in the marshes, vineyards on the sandy gravel terraces, then fields extending towards the forest, which continues to encircle the cultivated area. The agricultural landscape thus reveals two millennia of history.

This route, which can be explored on foot or by mountain bike, starts at the Les Sablons de Corquoy Sensitive Natural Area before passing through woods, fields and forest.

This is a beautiful walk that allows you to discover Reuilly and its surroundings, through vineyards, fields and meadows.

The Serruelles walk is a good warm-up before heading off to other nearby trails: Chavannes and its marsh, Saint-Loup des Chaumes or even Châteauneuf-sur-Cher and its Route des Loges de Vignes.You can combine this walk (Yellow Marker No. 7) with the Route des Loges de Vignes in Châteauneuf-sur-Cher (Yellow Marker No. 9).

A walk around the lake at Mareuil-sur-Arnon and through the woods in search of the old mill. The route is signposted with red arrows. It is suitable for both walkers and cyclists.

Nestled along the Cher, Châteauneuf-sur-Cher offers a walk punctuated by charming houses, rolling countryside, the majestic neo-Gothic Notre-Dame-des-Enfants basilica and the imposing 16th-century castle. You can even round off your visit by tackling the waves at the whitewater complex, with an hour of paddleboarding on the canal or a canoe trip on the Cher (booking required).

A few beautiful old houses, an aerodrome right on the doorstep, an inn in the heart of the village, a lovely pond perfect for fishing and picnics, and a sensitive natural area... Here is an itinerary that invites you to get to know the village of Chavannes better.

Home to one of the smallest vineyards in the Berry region, a family-run farm that has been in existence for over 75 years, and lovely paths to explore, Venesmes certainly has a lot to offer.

A lovely circular route starting from Saint-Palais (Cher), a village known for its pottery market and apple orchards. It mainly follows paths through woodland and takes you through unspoilt countryside dotted with ponds.

During this walk, you can explore the Farges pond and the viewpoint, from the top of which you can admire the Church of Saint Pierre in Menetou-Salon. And, of course, our vineyards. Follow the signposting marked with a bunch of blue grapes.
