Burgundy has a very varied landscape with many lovely natural features. At the heart of the region is the Morvan national park, a land of unspoilt beauty and a firm favourite of nature lovers. It is densely wooded and has a number of lakes (Settons, Pannecière…) making it ideal for a range of outdoor activities (hiking/riding, white water sports, tree-topping, etc.).
The Loire, last remaining wild river in Europe, has a fascinating range of wild plants. It runs through a number of Burgundian towns/cities, including Digoin, Decize and Nevers.
The caves at Arcy-sur-Cure, Azé and Blanot are important prehistoric sites.
