Sports The immediate surroundings of the château are excellent for walking and biking. There are sign-posted itineries for hiking on foot and by bicycle or mountain bike.

The Morvan – the natural park only 30 km away – is a paradise for walkers and cyclists with over 130 mountain bike routes for beginners and experienced bikers, covering over 2,000 km. Playing golf, climbing, canoeing, white-water rafting, horseriding, swimming, karting and paintball all happen in the Morvan. more...
