Ideas for stays and weekends
The Morvan in autumn
Xavier went to the Morvan last autumn and is going to tell you all about his experience. He was looking for a beautiful place for a change of scenery, that was easily accessible by car, and so an obvious choice for him was the Morvan Regional Natural Park or the "Green Lung of Burgundy".
He would remember this Burgundian getaway in a breathtaking natural environment for a long time, as well as their magical overnight stay at the Domaine de la Pierre Ronde.
