Lucenay-lès-Aix, pretty rural village of nearly 1000 inhabitants, is located at the southern tip of the Nièvre and adjoins 5 villages of the Allier.

The Ozon, Acolin and Abron rivers are the main rivers that cross the town.

Lucenay-lès-Aix had three churches: Saint-Gervais and Saint-Genest which disappeared during the Revolution, Saint-Romain which you can visit in the village.

For a stopover, a magnificent wash house located at the end of the shopping street offers you a place of tranquility in the city.

In the 19th century, five mills produced flour. Today only the Dardault mill is still in operation, and supplies flour to bakers. Original: since 1964, a pharmaceutical ampoule factory has been established in the town.

Théodore de Banville, French poet, lived for a long time at Lucenay-lès-Aix. The main street bears his name.

Things to see and do

The Auzon castle (private), decorated with stones and bricks covered with a painted plaster, is composed of a central building with two higher wings on each side, asymmetrical. Its current appearance dates from around 1820.

The agricultural and landscaped park was designed by the Comte de Choulot in the middle of the 19th century and is full of rare plant and tree species brought back by the owner of the time of his various trips. Open to visits only on the occasion of Rendez-vous aux jardins (in June) and Heritage Days (September).

A signposted hike starting from the bus shelter at a place called "Les Mouroux" will take you through the landscapes around Lucenay-les-Aix: Boucle des Mouroux: 9 km - 3 hours.
