The Franco-British cemetery of Couezon, sometimes called the "cathedral of greenery," lies in the heart of the forest. It holds the remains of those who fought against Nazism during the summer of 1944, a time when the Morvan region played a strategic role for the Resistance. In some areas, the maquis groups benefited from the support of the SAS, British special forces parachuted into the massif. The Bernard maquis group chose to bury here the men and women, French and foreign, who fell during these battles.

This cemetery commemorates the men and women of the Morvan resistance movement. In the summer of 1944, the Morvan region became a strategic location in the liberation of the territory and was home to important sites for the organization of the French Resistance. These units were supported by British special forces parachuted into the Morvan region.

The Bernard maquis, stationed in this forest, established this military cemetery to bury the bodies of the combatants who died during the fighting for liberation. This cemetery, in the heart of the forest, is often called the "Cathedral of Greenery." It's a beautiful forest perfect for a stroll.

The Town Hall Square is named after former President François Mitterrand, who was mayor of Château-Chinon from 1959 to 1981. An imposing "Niki de Saint Phalle Fountain" faces the Town Hall. It is a monumental work composed of sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle and an articulated base created by Jean Tinguely. It was created between 1987 and 1988, commissioned by President François Mitterrand.
