Château-Chinon (Ville)
Nièvre · France
Considered the capital of the Morvan region, this pocket-sized Burgundian town in the Nièvre department is best known as the place where François Mitterrand served as mayor from 1959 to 1981, the year he was elected President of France. Built on a hillside with a history stretching back to Gaulish and Gallo-Roman times, Château-Chinon has a modest café and restaurant scene that holds a surprising number of options for its size, and sits within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
