Tips from the Community
In the upper Commagny there is an old priory complex dating from the 12th century, of which the prior's house, the church, and a third building whose function is unknown today still remain. The works (from 2024) promise a well-deserved renovation for this beautiful place.

Dun-sur-Grandry is a pretty village in the West of Morvan. From the cemetery on the heights, there is a beautiful view of the church, as well as Château-Chinon in the distance. Also worth seeing in the cemetery: an 18th century calvary.

Pretty village typical of the region with several shops, cafes and restaurants. All that remains are the ramparts and two partially preserved buildings of the Moulins-Engilbert castle which dates from the 10th to the 15th centuries.
