This castle was built in the 14th century. At that time, the towers were twice as high. It was inhabited by soldiers during the period when Burgundy belonged to England and there was a battle against the French. The castle is currently being renovated. The knights' hall is almost finished

Behind the road is the large Camping Municipal. There is a hotel with a bistro on the beach in front of the street. The other stands for crepes, fries, etc. were still closed in June. Even further west is a large picnic area in the forest. The beach is also monitored during the summer holiday season. You can rent treet boats. The water is not too cold. A beautiful, quiet, large lake for swimming.

A beautiful sandy beach on the shores of Lac du Bourdon. You can use this beach for a mid-run break or enjoy the runners' euphoria by relaxing here at the end of your run - it's up to you.

The castle of La Motte-Josserand was built in the 13th century. Today the castle looks more like an amalgamation of buildings, but it can be seen if one focuses on the strong circular towers at the four corners. There is still a gate tower which once housed the traditional drawbridge.

In the Nièvre, between the Loire and the Yonne, the A6 and the A77, equidistant from Auxerre, Nevers or Bourges, near Vézelay, Saint-Fargeau and Guédelon, a castle surrounded by a moat is hidden in the foot of the forest. A stately home, holiday camp, chosen location for many scout groups, it now houses a small mixed primary school, a single-sex middle school and a crafts high school. Fauna and flora, history and culture: the site itself illustrates the courses taught!

The tracks are quite hard work for a few hundred metres with heavy panniers, but amazing experience and some amazing gentle climbs and descents today.
