Le Morvan during the Middle Ages Legendary horrors Forest of La Goulotte La Croix Chavannes La Croix Mordienne Hôtel de Chanty Château de Lomervo A French Bluebeard Citadel of Lingou. But I must return from my Andalusian belle to the rugged Le Morvan, a patriotic, but, in spite of the broken finger, by no means so captivating a subject.
In the great ponds of Marot, and in the lakes of Lomervo immense liquid plains, deep and surrounded in their whole circumference by a forest of green rushes, water-lilies, flags, and many other aquatic plants, forming a wall of verdure the enormous quantity of fish of every kind is almost incredible.
The gathering of armed knights for war or revelry; the rejoicings for the birth of an heir, or the lamentations for the death of the stern gray-headed lord; the bridal of one lovely daughter of the house of Lomervo, or the solitary departure of the mail-clad lover of another for the Crusades.
Here also may be seen the solid walls, the array of towers, the high belfry, the iron gates, and the ponderous drawbridges of the Château de Lomervo; and many are the dependent buildings, courts, and gardens, surrounded by the thick copse wood that covers its domain, which extends over three neighbouring hills.
