The Morvan heated Paris from 1550 to 1850 (coal boom) thanks to the "flottage buches à perdues" in the Morvan and the "flottage en train de bois" from Clamecy. The woodcutters cut the selected trees, cut out the mouldings (logs measuring 1.14 m and about 15 cm in diameter) and stacked them before being carted by the famous Morvan cart to the "flottage ports", simple meadows on the banks of streams and rivers in the Seine basin. The two main "routes" were the Yonne and the Cure, but their tributaries were also floated depending on the forests exploited.
The view from the top of the Rocher de la Pérouse is breathtaking, allowing you to appreciate the wild beauty of the Ravine de la Cure and part of the commune of Dun-Les-places. It was here that the first parachute drop of British weapons took place on 23 November 1942.
