Maison du parc naturel régional du Morvan, museum in France

The Morvan regional park visitor center in Saint-Brisson is a building with exhibits about the region's history and nature. The grounds cover about 40 hectares with forest paths, ponds, and various gardens that showcase local plants and wildlife.

A 17th-century manor here was attacked in 1793 during the French Revolution and later destroyed. The present château and outbuildings were built in 1802 and 1803 by an English architect. In 1975 the Syndicat Mixte du Parc, created when the Morvan regional park was founded in 1970, bought the estate with state, Burgundy regional and Nièvre departmental support and installed the Maison du Parc.

The site is called Espace Saint-Brisson, and the Maison du Parc is one of the five houses of the Écomusée du Morvan network, specifically the Maison des Hommes et des Paysages. It also houses the park's tourist office and the Musée de la Résistance en Morvan.

The center offers maps, brochures, and information to help plan walks in the region. Staff members are usually available to answer questions about the local environment and provide recommendations for exploring the area.

The 40-hectare estate includes an arboretum whose alleys present 17 species of forest and ornamental trees found in the Morvan. A discovery trail runs along one bank of the Taureau pond, a former reservoir used in the 19th century for floating loose logs down the Vignan river.
