The ground of this small path, quite steep, is particularly strewn with stones. Be careful to steer well so as not to end up head over heels or on your side!

The archaeological site of Bibracte—an ancient fortified Gallic town (an oppidum), capital of the Aedui people—located a few kilometers from Mont Beuvray, welcomes researchers and students. The site, classified as a "Grand Site de France," reveals an exceptional heritage.

In the village you have a nice bakery, cafe, hotel-restaurant and a shop where you can buy products for pasta, among other things.

A beautiful forest cycle ride, winding through the remains of the Gaulish village of Bibracte! The goal after the Col du Rebout is a one-way loop that descends to Saint-Léger-sous-Beuvray.
