The Morvan is a mountainous massif lying just to the west of the Côte d'Or escarpment in Burgundy, France. It is a northerly extension of the Massif Central and is of Variscan age. It is composed of granites and basalts and formed a promontory extending northwards into the Jurassic sea.
The Morvan has a strong folk musical tradition. It uses musical ideas from lots of other cultures and combine them to make their own. See Music of France and Bagpipes.
At its heart nowadays, is the Parc Régional du Morvan. Its main town is Château-Chinon on the D978 between Nevers and Autun. Several of its valleys have been dammed to form reservoirs.
This is a relatively unknown place internationally, so most information is in French.
