Roussillon-en-Morvan walks

The Canche Gorges are one of Morvan's most outstanding natural sites.

A short hike where, after playing leapfrog with the streams that run through Anost, you climb through the forest to a beautiful viewpoint dominated by the statue of Notre-Dame de l'Aillant.

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.

Deep in the Morvan forest, you reach the site of the Socrate maquis and then emerge much later from the forest at the Gallo-Roman theatre of Les Bardiaux. The return journey is along a path with information panels about other points of interest in the forest.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

This hike marks the start of the Grande Traversée de la Bourgogne du Sud (Great Crossing of Southern Burgundy), which, together with the Grande Traversée de l'Yonne and the Grande Traversée du Morvan, make up the Via Burgundia. Starting from Montereau-Fault-Yonne, this route takes you to Mâcon, crossing history through heritage and diverse landscapes.

Starting from the lovely Vallon lake, discover magnificent views of Autun from the Gorges de Brisecou forest road.

Lovely route starting from the Pierre de Couhard through a bucolic path leading to the Cascade de Brisecou. Lovely views over Autun and the historic quarter.

Magnificent walk around Lac des Settons with an almost constant view of the lake. Well-marked trail with plenty of shade along the way. Very little tarmac and guaranteed peace and quiet!

The route proposed here has several objectives, including encouraging walkers to discover short and long-distance hiking trails by following the markings. On this circuit, in addition to the wolf-themed signage specific to the Circuit de la Louvetière, you will also encounter yellow markings that can be found throughout France.

A lovely hike in the footsteps of the Maquis, alternating between hedged farmland and forest, with beautiful panoramic views, especially of Lac de Pannecière.

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.

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.

The first part of this route allows you to discover part of the commune of Ouroux-en-Morvan, passing through the hamlet of Le Plessis, then Savelot. 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.

A circular loop starting from Millay, allowing you to discover the southern Morvan up close with the cows. An easy hike, accessible for the whole family.
