Burgundy

The Burgundy is home to wonderful medieval villages such as Semur en Auxois, Flavigny, Avallon, Tournus, and Cluny, which offer an intimate atmosphere and great beauty. There are also magnificent cathedrals and monasteries such as Vézelay, Autun and Fontenay, as well as romantic castles and palaces such as Bussy-Rabutin. And, of course, the well-known tourist attractions of Burgundy such as beautiful Dijon and Beaune with its famous Hospices de Beaune. In addition the Morvan National Park nearby is a wonderful place for hiking, swimming or kayaking.

Nature

Morvan National Park

The Morvan National Park is a vast low mountain range characterised by unspoilt, tranquil natural landscapes. Dense forests, rolling hills, clear lakes and numerous streams and rivers characterise this relatively sparsely populated region. The park provides a habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna and is considered an important refuge for nature. At the same time, the Morvan is a popular destination for nature-based tourism: well-developed hiking and cycling trails, swimming lakes and small villages invite visitors to relax and enjoy active leisure activities. Traditional architecture, regional craftsmanship and a close connection to the landscape give the Morvan its authentic and down-to-earth character.
