This castle was built in the 14th century. At that time, the towers were twice as high. It was inhabited by soldiers during the period when Burgundy belonged to England and there was a battle against the French. The castle is currently being renovated. The knights' hall is almost finished

This fairly wide and deep ford is surprising when you arrive from the west because you don't see a footbridge... and yet it is of course on the left. You can blow, the feet will not get wet.

Varzy is a picturesque village which seduces with its rich medieval heritage and its streets lined with old houses. Its Gothic Saint-Pierre church and its traditional washhouse, once a center of social life, bear witness to its rural charm.

The castle of La Motte-Josserand was built in the 13th century. Today the castle looks more like an amalgamation of buildings, but it can be seen if one focuses on the strong circular towers at the four corners. There is still a gate tower which once housed the traditional drawbridge.
