모르반의 베네치아!

Beautiful, recommended walk. Small problem: the indicated right turn at km 6.44 is a non-accessible private road. Simply continue and turn right at km 7.32 to find the proposed road again after +/- 150 m (uphill).

Pretty village typical of the region with several shops, cafes and restaurants. All that remains are the ramparts and two partially preserved buildings of the Moulins-Engilbert castle which dates from the 10th to the 15th centuries.

While this bridge allows you to cross the Aron River with a beautiful view of the river, when you look up you cannot ignore the statue of Notre-Dame du Nivernais which dominates from its abutment in the center of the city.

In 1723 there was a glassworks in Vandenesse. In the 18th century the riches of Vandenesse gave rise to quarries, mines, forges, a metallurgical furnace, a fulling mill, an oil mill and mills as well as a nuns' convent which closed around 1970. At the end of the 19th century the village turned to agriculture and livestock. In the 20th century industrial and artisanal activities stopped, during the rural exodus the village became depopulated. Today tourists can admire the pretty village and the Castle.

You will notice that most castles are located in strategic defensive positions, which is not the case with this castle. But the region around the castle is crossed by the Dragne river which served as a natural defense on one side. The castle is privately owned, but can be admired from the main road.

Small picoresque stone village. There was once a bakery, today only a local art workshop/gallery serves as a tourist point.

Small pass at an altitude of 408m, approximately 2km long, which culminates, as its name suggests, at a place called Montarons.
