Ah, the Morvan! Some people call the mountains of the Morvan uplands "molehills", and while they're not very tall on this route, they do know how to tire the calves.Hiking through forests of Douglas fir, beech and other hardwoods on sandy or granite paths, with or without plant cover, but with prevalent animal and plant life, offering some very fine views from these hills with their unique horizons.

Of the 7 large lakes in the Morvan, all of which flow into the Yonne River via various tributaries, this one, fed by the Chalaux, feeds the Crescent Reservoir. The water collected along the way is added to the Cure. This system helps to regulate the Yonne, the 'enfant terrible' of the Seine, as the people of Icaunais like to call it.

The second part of the route takes you along the Chemin du Tacot, a single track road that ran from Corbigny to Seaulieu. You will pass the old Cœuzon station and the bridge-tunnel over the Chalaux river. You will also have the opportunity to see an almost identical full-size replica of the old Tacot locomotive. You will continue under arches covered in vegetation and finish by walking alongside the Étang d'Ouroux lake. In front of the village hall, you can also admire the blue carriage, which is unique in that it has the same metre gauge as the Tacot.

Ce trajet est composé de deux parties. La première se fait par les chemins vallonnés de la commune d'Ouroux-en-Morvan et de Montsauche-les-Settons, tandis que la seconde partie vous permet de parcourir l'intégralité du Chemin du Tacot allant de Montsauche-les-Settons à Ouroux-en-Morvan. Ce chemin était, de 1901 à 1939, une des parties de la voie du Tacot, qui assurait la liaison entre Corbigny et Seaulieu. Cette ancienne portion de voie a été ouverte par les bénévoles de l'association, et différents travaux y ont été effectués afin de permettre la bonne circulation des randonneurs.

Let's go back in time to 2008, when the commune of Ouroux-en-Morvan was the geographical centre of the Eurozone. This distinction was calculated by the Institut Géographique National (IGN). The exact point was located in the Bondy forest. However, the centre of the Eurozone changes with the accession of new member countries. Each new accession to the eurozone shifts this central point. Thus, in 2009, with the entry of Slovakia, the centre moved to Liernais, in Côte-d'Or. This "European point" is represented by a piece of granite, and along the route you will find signs explaining the role of the Eurozone.

This circular allows you to see some of the region's mills that are no longer in operation, in the commune of Ouroux-en-Morvan. It will also allow you to discover some of the commune's hamlets.
