The Nivernais and Charolais are the chief breeds of cattle and the rearing of sheep and draught-horses is also of importance. Vines are grown in the valley of the Loire and in the neighborhood of Clamecy and the white wines of Pouilly sur Loire- (a pretty river town) are widely known. The forests of the little granite mountain of the Morvan are scattered with lakes and rivers and is a paradise for fishermen and sailing enthusiasts. Landscapes around the Nivernais canal and the central Nivernais is full of culture and tradition.
