A lovely ride to discover the Montempuy chapel

Located on the border of the Allier, in the department of Nièvre, during this loop you will discover the beautiful Nivernais countryside and the lovely Montempuy chapel.

This 19,3km long loop is recommended for children over the age of ten, occasional cyclists and cycling enthusiasts.
Starting from Dornes, take the little roads and ride along the castle ""Château de Dornes"". Beautiful building of the 14th century, it has a beautiful Italian facade. Enjoy this green setting made of meadows doted with pounds in which graze the whites cows of the bourbonnais. 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 was burned during the Hundred Years' War. Return to the village of Dornes and enjoy a moment of relaxation on the beautiful central square shaded by lime trees.
