Château-Chinon, Administrative commune in Nièvre, France.
Château-Chinon stands at 534 meters elevation in the Morvan Regional Natural Park, functioning as a sub-prefecture of the Nièvre department within Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
The medieval fortress that gave the town its name was strategically positioned between Burgundy and the Kingdom of France, with only the Notre Dame gate remaining from 1475.
The Septennat Museum displays diplomatic gifts received by François Mitterrand during his presidency, representing international relations from 1981 to 1995.
The Centre Culturel Condorcet serves as a central venue for administrative services, artistic performances, and community gatherings throughout the year.
The Niki de Saint Phalle fountain, installed in 1987 on Place François Mitterrand, represents one of five similar monumental works in the world.
