Guillon-Terre-Plaine, a commune in Morvan

Guillon-Terre-Plaine is a commune created on January 1, 2019, from the merger of five villages. It is located in the canton of Avallon, near the Morvan forest. The village of Guillon, which gives its name to the commune, hosts the town hall and main services. The Terre-Plaine refers to this bocage plateau characteristic of northern Morvan, a territory of hedgerows, livestock farming, and forests.

The association Bien Vivre Ensemble animates the social life of the commune and contributes to the organization of the local festival, with the support of volunteers and the municipality.

A region to discover

The Guillon festival is also an opportunity to discover this authentic region of the Yonne. Nearby are the remarkable sites of Morvan: the castle of Chastellux, oak and beech forests, fish-filled rivers, and the rolling landscapes that make this preserved natural region famous.
