Cities

Autun, Vézelay, Avallon, Beaune and even Dijon, a little further away, are cities worth visiting.

In Beaune, there is a whole system of corridors under the city with barrels filled with wine. Book your visit to the winery Patriarche Père et Fils, 240 years old. In Autun, you will discover Roman history, several museums and the old domed prison. Visit the website www.autun-tourisme.com  to find a lot of information and the current calendar of activities in Autun and the surrounding area.

Museums

The Bibracte Museum exhibits archaeological pieces to admire and learn about the life of the Celts. At Bibracte, discover the Gallic city under the forest.

In Alligny-en-Morvan is the museum of the Nourrices. The nannies are part of the identity of the Morvan. A special history lesson.

The Morvan had a strategic importance in times of war. Several memorials are to be discovered as well as a museum of the resistance: museum of the resistance.

Castles

Many castles in the Morvan are privately owned. However, many families open their castles (partially) to the public during the summer. The castle of Bazoches can even be visited all year long.

Other castles are the castle of Saint-Lèger, the castle of Besne and the castle of Chastellux.

And would you like to discover how a castle was built in the past? With medieval techniques and materials, the

castle of Guédelon is built.
