A quick ride to discover the Montempuy chapel

Located on the border of the Allier, this loop leads you along the little roads of the Nivernais area to discover the beautiful Montempuy chapel.

This 8,3km long loop is recommended for children over the age of ten, occasional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts.
Starting from Saint-Parize-en-Viry, take the pretty little roads that cross the Nivernais countryside.
Enjoy this green setting made of meadows doted with pounds in which graze the whites cows of the Bourbonnais.
Continue your way to Dornes. Cross the village, a seigneury that appeared in the 13th century, for a few kilometers then return to Saint-Parize-en-Viry. Take the path that leads you to the beautiful Montempuy chapel. Founded in the 11th century by the Cluniac monks of Souvigny, this chapel, whose traces date back to Charlemagne, was next to a priory that burned during the Hundred Years' War. Take a few moments to admire this building, now listed as a Historical Monument.
