Hiking, cycling, horseriding, ballooning... Hiking A relaxed tour can be made along the Canal de Nivernais (4 km), where a cycle path was built approximately 45 km long. It carries along sluices and associated Romantic lock keepers cottage from the late 19th century The route around Vignol is more suitable for experienced cyclists: it is hilly, even with steep slopes, but well worth it by the scenery, and panoramic views.

Swimming and canoeing
Want to cool down a little and swim? There are two lakes in the area (approx. 25 km). The beautiful Lac de Chaumeçon provides clear water for swimming, fishing or canoeing. The Etang de Veau is a nice recreational lake with sailing boats and canoes which can be rented. We highly recommend to make a kayak tour of 8 or 18 km through the beautiful Morvan region starting at St. Pere. |

Culture
| In the immediate surroundings there are beautiful towns and villages to discover,such as Vézelay (18 km), Clamecy (19 km), Saint Pere (15 km), but also the lesser known Tannay (6 km) and Corbigny (15 km). For example, day trips can be made to the Chablis region, the Grande Route du Vin, Dijon (120 km highway), Autun, and Beaune (Les Hospices). Vezelay Vézelay is famous for the basilica St. Magdalena. This church attracts 75 000 visitors a year. And with good reason! Vézelay is always lively with wine shops, delicatessen shops, and restaurants. The Zervos museum has a beautiful and surprisingly good collection covering the period of 1926-1960 (Ernst, Leger, Kandinsky, for example). Clamecy Clamecy is known for its charming old town with both baroque buildings and a medieval quarter. The Gothic cathedral towers over the square with several restaurants and the town hall. Saint-Père Saint-Père has a beautiful cathedral with interesting addition of a small archaeological museum. It houses a collection of archaeological finds from the excavation of the buildings around the salt water sources. |

In the middle of the country hold magic. Sources of salt water. Since the Celts it was a special place: the salt water sources (11 km from Vignol: 2 km from Seigland, towards St-Père). The Romans have built their baths on this place. The information about the archaeological site on the spot makes it a worthwhile visit. |
