Arnay-le-Duc (Côte-d'Or, France)
Arnay-le-Duc is a small Burgundian town set on the Arroux valley, on the edge of the Morvan Regional Natural Park. Its bocage landscape and old streets give it an authentic provincial atmosphere. The urban fabric mixes half-timbered houses and town mansions, bearing witness to a commercial and rural past. It is a frequent starting point for exploring the wooded hills of the Morvan and the terroirs of the Côte-d'Or.
Heritage and history
The center of Arnay-le-Duc preserves a group of old buildings and covered passages that tell of its role as a local commercial hub. Restored facades and porches typical of small Burgundian towns can be seen. Traces of medieval urban layout remain in the street plan. Local information panels help place these elements in their historical context.
