Roussillon-en-Morvan walks

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

Discover the Haut-Morvan. Hamlets are scattered across a landscape marked by ridges and steep-sided valleys. The forest and its exploitation are omnipresent. Streams and animals in the meadows complete the picture. It is a beautiful walk between hamlets, countryside and forest with brief and occasional difficulties.

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.

Forest hike in the Morvan to discover three healing springs and a chapel far from any human occupation on theGRP® route du Morvan. The route is extremely simple and very well marked in yellow.
