Starting from the water source, this hike takes you to the highest point in the Yonne and the Rocher de la Pérouse, which offers a magnificent view of the Nièvre and the commune of Dun-les-Places.

This walk will take you round the village via the south and the Bois au Duc. The village takes its name from the numerous stone vaults surrounding the church. You’ll walk past the fallow deer park. The deer aren’t shy, and you can often spot one or two. A fairly family-friendly route. Don’t forget to wear suitable footwear.

A walk in the northern part of the commune of Quarré-les-Tombes, following several sections ofthe GRP® de l’Avallonais, criss-crossing the Morvan. The elevation gain is fairly gentle despite two significant climbs. The walk takes in a variety of paths and small roads. A few small viewpoints are scattered along the route.

Accessible à deux tours de roue d'Avallon, la commune de Magny est un village paisible peu fréquenté. Voici une petite randonnée rafraîchissante dans la forêt, le long de la rivière avec quelques montées faciles et idéalement réparties sur le trajet.

Between Saint-Germain and Chastellux, a walk in the northern Morvan, through pastures, meadows, woods and hamlets. This is initially a rural route that joins the road after passing the dam. The path then becomes more wooded until it passes under the bridge of the main road. The final few kilometres follow a small road. As well as the Crescent reservoir, you can admire the beautiful Château de Chastellux. There is also a short passage under a small aqueduct, which is actually an underground river that required a small structure due to the terrain.

This walk is almost entirely through forest on the outskirts of Avallon, with a few sections on the road. The first part is mainly in forest, while the second part is more open, bordering meadows and pastures.

A gentle hike starting from the town of Vézelay and heading west. The end of the hike offers a spectacular view of the historic centre and the basilica. The hike is mainly on forest paths. No difficulties to be expected.

This is a walk that takes you along small roads, numerous paths and, towards the end, alongside the River Cure. This walk offers varied scenery, is not difficult and features a well-distributed elevation gain. Away from the town and the tourists, let yourself be guided through the countryside, amongst the trees and to the sound of flowing water.

A journey through the Morvan massif. This is a forest walk, far from people and towns. It crosses several streams and winds its way through the hills of this verdant landscape. Any markings along the route should be disregarded.

A short walk across the plain and through the fields between Avallon and Annay-la-Côte. This route has very few inclines, with just one notable one right at the very end. It mainly follows paths through the fields and takes an old Roman road that is no longer used by vehicles. The starting point offers a magnificent view over the whole plain, with the small town of Avallon in the background.

This forest walk takes you around the woods of the village of Saint-Léger-Vauban in the Yonne. You’ll pass by the Abbaye de la Pierre-qui-Vire for a well-deserved break. Saint-Léger-Vauban, as its name suggests, is the birthplace of Marshal Vauban, the famous French military engineer. There is a small museum on the square. The first section (up to the abbey) follows the yellow and red markings of the GRP® Tour du Morvan.
