Circuit Du Bourbonnais

At the heart of the Bourbonnais, in Montbeugny, Circuit du Bourbonnais stretches 2,300 metres of outdoor track in the Bourbonnais countryside, 15 minutes from Moulins. With its 2.3 kilometres, it's one of the longest karting circuits in France, a format closer to a real motor racing circuit than a classic rental karting venue. Set in a rural area typical of the Allier: bocage, Charolais beef pastures, the first Massif Central reliefs. The site has become a reference for experienced drivers from northeastern France.

With its 2,300 metres, the open-air layout offers a course worthy of a real motor racing circuit: extended straights that let you really push through the gears, and demanding technical sequences that require expert line-reading. It's a format that speaks to very experienced drivers chasing better lap times, and to organisers of driving courses needing a competition-length course. The site stays accessible to intermediate drivers thanks to adapted engine sizes, but the exceptional layout length makes it a destination in itself.

Montbeugny is 15 minutes from Moulins, 45 from Vichy, and 2 hours from Lyon via the A79. The region offers plenty to extend the visit: Moulins and its historic centre, the Tronçais forest (one of Europe's finest oak woods), the Ducs de Bourbon castle, or a detour to Vichy and its thermal heritage. For drivers wanting a really long technical course, it's one of the major French karting references in deep countryside.
