Nochize: Hiking and heritage

For a trip to Nochize, you can focus on hiking, landscapes or architectural history. The PLM06 hiking trail, “A travers bois,” starts in the village and leads into the Garonne woods. Hiking in Nochize also offers a chance to discover the Charolais-Bocage; Nochize is also a starting point for exploring the Grand Charolais. Cultural landmarks include the privately owned Brionnais Ferme-Manoir Manoir de Pancemont, the privately owned Château de Chevenizet, which overlooks the Arconce valley, and a former Romanesque church in the heart of the village, now converted into a community hall.

Hiking and landscapes

The PLM06 hiking trail is called “A travers bois.” It starts in Nochize and leads into the Garonne woods. This connects the village starting point with the woodland character of the route. If you want to make hiking the focus of your trip, PLM06 is a specific starting point for planning.

Hiking in Nochize also offers a chance to discover the Charolais-Bocage. This adds a landscape perspective to the specific route: PLM06 refers to a particular trail, while the Bocage is a landscape theme associated with hiking in the village. Nochize is also a starting point for discovering the Grand Charolais. The planning scope therefore extends from a specific named trail, through the Charolais-Bocage, to this broader destination for exploration.

Architectural history and different uses

The privately owned Manoir de Pancemont is a Brionnais Ferme-Manoir and a Maison d’hôtes. The two terms offer different perspectives on the same building: Ferme-Manoir refers to the building type, while Maison d’hôtes describes its guesthouse function. This gives you both the architectural form and the theme of hospitality to consider when planning your trip.

The privately owned Château de Chevenizet offers a different focus: it is a 13th-century château overlooking the Arconce valley. Its historical date and landscape setting go hand in hand. Compared with the Manoir, the emphasis is less on a guesthouse function and more on its character as a château and its connection to the valley.

Another facet is the former Romanesque church in the heart of Nochize, which has been converted into a community hall. Its history connects its former religious purpose with a communal use. Unlike the two privately owned historic buildings, what stands out here is the change in use. The church thus adds the theme of conversion to the area’s architectural history.

Horse riding and pony rides

Le Moulin de Vaux adds an active travel option to these themes: horse rides and pony rides are offered there, including for younger riders. If you plan to take part, check the age and booking requirements before your trip.
