Would you like to take a circular route on foot or by bike, spend time at Étang des Lévrys, or explore historic architecture? The destinations below show how varied interests in the area can be.

Exploring circular routes and Sologne à Vélo

Nouan-Le-Fuzelier has at least eight marked and signposted circular routes for hiking or cycling. One of them goes around Étang des Lévrys, combining a circular route with the pond as a specific destination. Nouan-Le-Fuzelier is also a starting point for Sologne à Vélo, a greenway towards Chambord and the Loire à Vélo. This means different types of routes are available side by side: circular hiking or cycling routes, and routes oriented towards Chambord or the Loire à Vélo. There are also numerous hiking and horse-riding trails, as well as cycling routes through the Sologne’s natural landscapes, forests, and many ponds.

Étang des Lévrys and the pond landscape

Étang des Lévrys is an old, man-made pond covering 28 hectares. Heathland, oaks, and birch trees line the area by the water. There is an observation point, a walking path, picnic tables, and benches around the pond. A visit can therefore combine a walk, a stop at the observation point, and a break at one of the tables or benches. The area around Nouan-Le-Fuzelier has one of the highest concentrations of publicly accessible ponds in the Sologne.

Horse rides, pony introductions, and carriage rides

The Centre Equestre du Vieux Château offers horse and pony rides lasting from one hour to a full day in the Sologne. It also offers pony introductions for children aged two to twelve, as well as carriage rides through the Sologne forest. The three activities differ in focus: horse rides, pony introductions, and carriage rides each offer a different experience. If you are specifically looking for a pony activity for children, the stated age range can help you assess whether the pony introduction is suitable. Before your trip, check the dates for horse rides and the availability of pony introductions and carriage rides.

Church and château: different architectural histories

The Église Saint-Martin was listed as a historic building worthy of protection by a decree dated 7 November 1929. The Château de Moléon dates back to a building from the 15th century and was extended in the 17th and 19th centuries. The Château’s brick architecture is characteristic of the Sologne’s châteaux. The buildings offer different historical perspectives: the church is notable for its dated listing, while the Château reflects development across several building phases. Its brick architecture adds a regional architectural dimension to this chronology.
