Pretty countryside between the Etang du Merle, and the Bay et Vaux pond in the Nièvre. There is little difference in altitude, very little traffic, which allows you to make the most of the landscapes. A stop along the Etang de Bay et Vaux for a nice picnic at the water's edge and you're ready to have a good time in all simplicity.
