In the Nièvre, between the Loire and the Yonne, the A6 and the A77, equidistant from Auxerre, Nevers or Bourges, near Vézelay, Saint-Fargeau and Guédelon, a castle surrounded by a moat is hidden in the foot of the forest. A stately home, holiday camp, chosen location for many scout groups, it now houses a small mixed primary school, a single-sex middle school and a crafts high school. Fauna and flora, history and culture: the site itself illustrates the courses taught!

Standing at an altitude of 256m, the village of Perreuse, which now has only 65 inhabitants, drew its wealth from the vineyards planted on its hillsides, a vineyard known since Roman times. The village has many very old houses dating back to the 16th century. It is also distinguished by a remarkable tree, an old lime tree planted under Henri IV on the site of a fortified castle which has now disappeared. The small church is also remarkable.

The tracks are quite hard work for a few hundred metres with heavy panniers, but amazing experience and some amazing gentle climbs and descents today.
