Ideas for stays and weekends
Autumn weekend break in the Morvan
We met with Xavier who comes to the Morvan every year in autumn. He particularly enjoys coming here for a relaxing break in the fresh air of the great outdoors before winter. Every year, he surprises his partner by choosing to stay somewhere that is within driving distance from their home and offers a much-needed change of scenery. These autumn getaways have become a tradition and a highlight of the year for both of them. The breathtaking natural scenery, mysterious places in the midst of nature, and above-all, a romantic, magical and revitalizing stay. Everything you could possibly need for an exceptional experience at the most beautiful time of year.
