BICHES

The town of Biches is crossed by the meanders of the Aron valley and by the Canal du Nivernais. On the Fleury site, don't miss the needle dam designed to supply the canal in the event of insufficient water levels: it is one of the rare structures of this type still preserved in France. Also discover the remarkable site of the Fontaine de Chamont, with its boxwood forest, and the Buchio trail, a Sensitive Natural Area, and the Vincence state forest, rich in tree species.
