The municipality of Brassy includes Lac de Chaumeçon, an artificial lake on the Chalaux River. Thermal engines are prohibited there to protect the wild flora and fauna. There are three boat-launching points at the lake; a pontoon extending over the water provides people with disabilities with easy access.
Those who choose Brassy for a stay at Lac de Chaumeçon want to rent a holiday apartment.
Nature
The Parc naturel régional du Morvan restored the wetland area of the Prairies de Montour to promote biodiversity; Highland cattle keep the meadows open. In the wetland areas, the Sentier des prairies de Montour crosses the marshland via footbridges or raised paths. A lookout tower along this trail offers an elevated view of the area.
