Very nice place on the lake. The restaurant Le Moulin on the lake is worth a visit.

The House of Hunting, Nature and Wildlife (MCNFS) was created in 2009 to address the lack of environmentalist structures in the Nièvre department. The MCNFS hosts various associations directly related to nature, including the Departmental Federation of Hunters (approved for environmental protection). As part of the management of wildlife in general, the MCNFS is the place where documents such as the Departmental Game Management Plan or management plans are developed. The MCNFS ensures an environmental education mission and the preservation of major natural balances by offering, on site in Forges, educational activities for schoolchildren.
