Nassigny Castle is a 14th-century building. The passage of history over the centuries has caused it to suffer significant damage. After several renovations in the 16th and 19th centuries, nothing remains of the castle's original appearance.

Lock on the cycle route from Montluçon to Bourges, along the Berry canal. The cycle and pedestrian path is very pleasant, far from road traffic.

Conal of Berry

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The path is paved all the way to Vallon-en-Sully, then suitable for road bikes. It features multiple wooden sections. The atmosphere is peaceful as soon as you leave Montluçon.
