Village of Saone-et-Loire, in the heart of the high Morvan, Anost takes place in the Mont Beuvray massif, 550 meters above sea level. This former industrial capital is located on the edge of the Nièvre department, in the Haut Folin, not far from Tavernay, Arleuf or Château-Chinon.

Former, the town of Anost has had a human occupation since prehistoric times. It has enjoyed a peaceful history over the centuries, becoming an important industrial city, including the installation of a railway line in the early twentieth century.

Today, Anost continues to attract visitors with its natural charm, its architectural and historical heritage of great importance, but also by its many cultural activities. Beer lovers will also find their happiness with the local specialty, La Foline, a homemade organic beer.

Things to see and do

As part of the network of the Ecomuseum Morvan, the House of Galvachers and the Oral Heritage House are not lacking interest. Created in the mid-1990s, the first retraces the story of galvachers, migrant farmers who roamed the regions of Morvan between May and October.

A stay in Anost is also an opportunity to admire beautiful old houses, like the castle of La Ferrière of the thirteenth century, the fortified house of Vaumignon, the manor of Bussy or the ruins of the castle of Roussillon ruined in the 15th century by the Armagnacs.

Located in the heights of the village, Notre-Dame de l'Aillant is an impressive statue of the Virgin and Child of 850 kg and three meters high. Do not miss to discover the Saint-Germain church with its relics of Jehan and Isabeau de Roussillon or the chapel of St. Claire de Velée. Built in the eleventh century, the latter retains elements listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments, as well as beautiful murals.

In the surroundings, there are several marked hiking trails in the forest, accessible on foot, horseback or mountain bike. Several fishing sites are also accessible for fans of the area.
