Tips from the Community
L'auberge de la Croix Messire Jean is an old building from the Middle Ages. Once the last stop on a Way of the Cross, it welcomed pilgrims who came to pay their respects to relics brought back from the Crusades by Jean de Châteauvillain. Today transformed into an inn, it honors the local products of the Morvan region.
