At the tip of the South Nivernais, Cossaye is a small town of about 700 inhabitants.

The town offers a preserved natural setting and many green spaces.

It is crossed by the Loire, the Ozon, the Acolin and is placed under the sign of water thanks to its ponds and its mills.

It is a calm place with a pretty landscaped body of water combining the joys of fishing and leisure.

You will appreciate its small paths suitable for walking, whether in the forest or along the side canal of the Loire where you can see storks, which come to nest every year.

The economy of Cossaye is mainly oriented towards breeding, in particular cattle for which the Charolais breed is famous.

Things to see and do

This charming village has a landscaped pond where you can go fishing.

For this, before any installation on the body of water, a pond fishing license (day, annual or night) is mandatory. Maps are available at Cossaye in the Town Hall or at 777 as well as at the Fisherman's shelter in Decize.

Departing from the pond, follow a new 12 km hike between paths and country roads to (re) discover the town of Cossaye.

For those who wish to increase the distance, it is possible to lengthen the routes by taking the Toury-Lurcy or Lucenay-les-Aix loops on foot or by bike.

Hiking sheet available at the Confluence Tourist Office or downloadable from the website.

Vegetable dyeing workshops are offered by Lili Bohême over a half-day or a full day.
