Whatever your level you’ll find the track to suit you. Secondary roads in the area are ideal. We can provide you with routemaps for shorter and longer trips for the beginner to the most seasoned cyclist. Excellent bicycles can be rented at the château.

MOUNTAIN-BIKING
• A number of mountain bike tracks start at the château. They range from easy to quite difficult and from 10 – 50 km. If you choose a starting point farther away we will happily take you there (and pick you up again).

• These can be done on your own and we are happy to provide routemaps but an experienced guide is available if you prefer.

• The Morvan – the nearby national park – is a fabulous place for mountain biking. There are over 130 well-sign-posted tracks covering over 2,000 km! We also provide routemaps and if you wish we can arrange to drop you off at the starting point.

Suggestion:
If you want to make your bike trip extra special, order a sumptuous picnic!
The Château de Frétoy will arrange a surprise picnic at a specific place and time

WALKING
The surroundings of the château are made for walking. The château itself is the starting point for a number of trips. The shortest is only 4 km.
Several footpaths start near the château and there are hundreds more in the Morvan – the famous national park only 30 km from Frétoy. You might run into some pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella: part of their route leads through the Morvan. Roadmaps for all trips are available.

Suggestion:
Instead of a backpack lunch enjoy a sumptuous picnic! The château will prepare it for you and deliver it when and where you choose.

4x4 OFF-ROADING
For cross country driving in the region you head in the same direction – the Morvan. There you’ll find a special course where you can hire a vehicle and drive with a maximum of four available cars.

WHITE WATER RAFTING
Rafters head for the Morvan again where rafting is allowed when a torrent descends the hillside churning over the rapids when the reservoir sluice gates are opened once a day.
