The Maison du Parc in Saint-Brisson is a complex that includes the administrative center of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, a documentation center, two museums, various educational facilities, a bistro, and the Morvan Regional Natural Park Tourist Office. This site is immersed in resplendent nature and a relaxing setting. This group of buildings was built in an original style imported by an English architect. The structure of the house consists of a rectangular block with thick walls and small windows to protect it from the harsh and contrasting climate of the Morvan. In addition to the central block, this complex consists of two symmetrical buildings for storing grain and hay and housing animals. Finally, opposite the end of each wing, there is a chapel and a hunting lodge. The complex is completed by a sheepfold and the last farmer's house, which currently serves as the administrative center of the Park. An agricultural and landscaped park, created in 1858 by the Count of Choulot, completes this group of buildings. Taureau Pond, a fishing pond located below an English-style garden, was once a reservoir for floating logs on the Vignan River, a complementary economic activity for the Morvan people of the 19th century. https://www.parcdumorvan.org/le-parc/la-maison-du-parc/un-peu-dhistoire/

a museum about the resistance against the German Nazis. If you know a little French, you will be well served here and will learn something in particular about the groups that were active in the Morvan.

The second part of the village's name comes from the large number of empty stone tombs placed in the cemetery surrounding the church. The church is the central location of the village, next to the mayor and not far from a mini-market and a few shops.
