Open-air activities to make the most of a unique environment

To say that the Bourbon region is green is almost overstating the obvious, given the omnipresent countryside, dotted with little villages (22 of the 26 localities in the Bourbon region have fewer than 2,000 inhabitants). Bocage fields and forest plantations crossed by small quiet roads or sunken paths enchant parents and children who will find here an ideal place for walking, cycling or riding.

To explore these peaceful by-ways where a multitude of discoveries lie around every bend, various guidebooks are available to help plan short or long trips without having to think about itineraries. While the smaller localities are perfectly suited to enjoy walking, cycling and riding, the urban area of Moulins offers all the traditional sports facilities such as swimming pool, artificial lakes with water sports centres and fishing, as well as tennis and golf (9-hole course).
