Located at 668 meters in the Nièvre department, the commune of Glux-en-Glenne is the highest in Burgundy. It is home to the European archaeological center of Bibracte and is the site of the listed Mont-Préneley and Sources de l’Yonne.

In the village you have a nice bakery, cafe, hotel-restaurant and a shop where you can buy products for pasta, among other things.

This isn't an aqueduct, but a Roman city gate (Porte d'Arroux). A beautiful entrance to the city.

A beautiful forest cycle ride, winding through the remains of the Gaulish village of Bibracte! The goal after the Col du Rebout is a one-way loop that descends to Saint-Léger-sous-Beuvray.

Beautiful ruin that is easily reached with a short walk from the town over simple paths.

Each of these crosses, which the hiker often encounters in the fields or (as here) on a prominent mountain location high above the city, is a sign of remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Here on earth there is His memory, but in the kingdom of heaven there is His presence: this presence is the joy of those who have already attained salvation. The memory is our consolation, as we are still wanderers and journeying towards our homeland." (Bernard of Clairvaux)
