Haut-Folin is the highest point in the Morvan region and, more broadly, in Burgundy, at 901 meters above sea level. This mountain boasts a beautiful natural setting with areas covered in deciduous and coniferous trees. It is also the starting point for numerous hiking and cycling trails.

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.

Hello, Update of my comment posted on May 2, 2024: This is now the 4th photo that does not correspond to Château-Chinon but to the castle in Chinon in Indre-et-Loire, see my first comment ;-)

Highest point of Morvan, Saône-et-Loire and Burgundy at 901m. Up there is a teletransmission antenna in the middle of the forest.

Great panorama in the heart of Morvan!

The climb from the west into the city is a long ramp with a lot of traffic. But the small town with its cafes is worth the climb. And a break helps to gather strength for the Col Folin...😀
