Bibracte

Bibracte was the name of a Gallic fortified town, identified with the current Mont Beuvray. Bibracte was founded on one of the peaks of the Haut-Morvan, was the capital of the mighty tribe of Haedui. The thriving community of thousands of inhabitants was in a safe place, hidden deep in the forest and high on a mountain. Later, the place was abandoned and the Romans traded it in for the more strategically located Autun. Beautifully shaped trees can be found in the forests. Definitely worth a visit! Approx. 30 minutes drive from the campsite.

Uchon

Uchon is situated at an altitude of 681 meters. On top you have a beautiful view. There are huge boulders: Les Rochers du Carnaval. The rocks are the result of erosion, causing pieces of granite to be eroded. The rocks seem to have been thrown down at random at the top of Uchon. They have appealing names such as the mammoth and the dog's nose. Around Uchon there are a few marked walks that will lead you along even more striking rocks.

Bourbon-Lancy is a nice historic town with a beautiful old town centre. A historic city where it seems as if time has stood still. From the parking lot in the center you can walk into the historic city. Here it seems as if time has stood still. Old houses hang over the streets as if they could fall over at any moment. The German influence is clearly visible in the half-timbered houses. On one side of the city you will find the old city walls from where you have a beautiful view of the surroundings.

Château-Chinon

On the western edge of the Morvan lies Château-Chinon, the town where Mitterrand was mayor before he became president of France in 1981. The Musée du Septennat exhibits state gifts received by Mitterrand. During his time as a mayor, Mitterrand made sure that the Morvan became a regional natural park. This appointment went hand in hand with the protection of nature, the preservation of cultural heritage and economic development. Thanks to Mitterrand, the rolling rustic landscape of the Morvan is preserved.

Lac de Pannecière

Lac de Pannecière is the largest lake of the Morvan (52 ha) with a length of 7.5 km. The lake is one of the 4 cleanest lakes in France. In the reservoir is a dam of 340 meters long and 50 meters high. The location is beautiful between wooded hills. From the dam you have a beautiful view of the branches of the lake and the tops of the Morvan. The reservoir is used to generate electricity and to regulate the water level in the rivers Yonne and Seine, so that the quays in Paris are not flooded. Once every 10 years, they drain the lake. This emptying is necessary in order to be able to carry out maintenance on the dam. This was last done in 2011/2012.

Cascade de la Dragne

In the small village of Villapourcon you will find Cascade de la Dragne. You walk along a dead end road for motorized traffic, towards meadows so you can arrive at a small waterfall via a sandy path and a piece through the forest. This waterfall is hidden between the rocks and provides clean, cool water. The waterfall ends in a small stream that ripples through the valley. You can walk along it and follow a route. A good map is advisable. Even some French people who live in the region don't know that the waterfall is there.
