Geography
The Morvan is located across the Côte-d'Or, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire and Yonne departments in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in central-east France.
At its heart nowadays is the protected area of Morvan Regional Natural Park (French: Parc naturel régional du Morvan).
Its main town is Château-Chinon, Nièvre on the D978 road between Nevers and Autun. Several of its valleys have been dammed to form reservoirs.
