The Morvan, THE massif to discover or rediscover.
Located halfway between Lyon and Paris and not far from major road networks lies a truly mysterious land. At the northern tip of the Massif Central, this granite island set in the heart of Burgundy is full of wonderful surprises. Forests, hills and green valleys, fast-flowing rivers, ponds, and rolling pastures form its backdrop. Welcome to the Morvan.
Not only is nature preserved here, but history is present everywhere, both grand and local. Until quite recently, forestry, farming and livestock rearing were the main livelihoods of the Morvan people. But gradually, green and sports tourism is making its mark. It must be said that the Morvan offers everything the most discerning sports enthusiasts and outdoor activity lovers could wish for, and first and foremost, hikers.
