Ahuy walks

Forest walk starting from Ahuy and heading towards Vantoux.

In our region, there are many stone structures called cadoles, cabotes or cabiotes, which were once used as shelters by farmers. Winegrowers' huts are piles of stones gathered from fields, and a similar structure, murgers, refers to piles of stones left over from clearing fields. The proposed route allows you to discover some of these structures, which have been restored by a local association. You can find out more about their work and explanations on their website, with the participation of the "Sentiers" integration association. This is our small rural heritage. It is important to know about it (and to preserve it), as well as the customs of a bygone era, which have nevertheless shaped our landscapes. In the region, the terms "cadoles" and "cabotes" refer to the same type of construction, often found near vineyards. However, the term "cabiote" is used very locally in the Hauteville-les-Dijon area.

This circular route allows you to explore the village of Hauteville-lès-Dijon and see the recently restored Ronge fountain and the Chêneaux spring, which is still undergoing restoration. Both springs are sensitive natural areas with protected species. Please respect these species and, in particular, keep your pets away from these areas.

From the Basilica of Saint Bernard to the Hauteville-lès-Dijon viewpoint.

The Suzon and the Ouche, two rivers of great importance to Dijon. This route runs from one to the other through a patchwork of gardens, avenues and small paths. Historical and artistic points of interest and viewpoints. Access by tram; access by car is also possible.

A short walk on the outskirts of Dijon. Lovely views of the villages along the route.

This route is a continuation of the route entitled ‘Les Cabiotes and winegrowers' huts of Hauteville-les-Dijon’. It allows you to discover other aspects of the heritage of this vast plateau. Firstly, the Fort d’Hauteville, which is being given a new lease of life thanks to the Association des Amis du Fort d’Hauteville and the municipality of Hauteville-les-Dijon. It is one of the last military forts to have remained in active service, alongside that of La Motte Giron above the Combe à la Serpent. You’ll discover one of the few lavender fields in the Dijon area, and Darois Aerodrome. Further on, you’ll find the Orée du Bois campsite, followed by a remarkable 19th-century wash house. Then come the two beautiful springs: the Fontaine de la Trouvée and the Chênaux. On the way back, once you’ve returned to the plateau, you’ll be treated to a lovely view of the Dijon plain and, as you pass by, the beautifully restored Rogne spring.

A very easy hike on the outskirts of Dijon, between Vantoux and Hauteville.

A beautiful walk, two-thirds of it shaded, in the countryside at the gateway to Dijon, between Talant and Plombières, between valleys and vineyards, with beautiful views over Talant, the Ouche valley and Mont Afrique in the distance. The incline is reasonable and broken down into three short climbs, making this a very easy and relatively fast walk.

Lac Chanoine Kir loop through the heights of Talant, Plombières-lès-Dijon and Fontaine d'Ouche.A route between town and nature, with beautiful views over the lake.

A short hike south-west of Messigny, towards the Château de Vantoux, the Combe Grivot and the farms on the plateau. This is an easy route for exploring the Suzon valley and a small combe, the Combe Grivot, which is characteristic of the valley with its stunted trees and stony slopes.

A beautiful walk, mainly through woods, which is not difficult but is good for your heart thanks to the gentle slope. A beautiful valley to finish.

A beautiful, undulating walk through the woods. Please note that the route may be slippery in wet or humid conditions.

A circular walk in the Forest of Messigny, with its lily of the valley in May and its orchids and foxgloves in June.

A route well-known to local hikers, signposted by the CAF. The route given here (1h45/2h) from Messigny-et-Vantoux to Sainte-Foy was completed by a man in his sixties, walking on the uphill sections and trail running on the flat and downhill sections... This route forms part of a longer hike (Tour du Val Suzon).

Well-marked, fairly easy route (it is indicated on the hiking map (Dijon Ouest - Val Suzon - Sainte-Seine l'Abbaye - 3022ET). Beautiful views over the valley on a clear day. Itinerary initially structured in four parts (Les Balcons du Suzon, parts 1 to 4), with an outward and return section off the itinerary. ⚠️The complete trail is described here in its entirety, with no escape route.

Last section of the Suzon balconies. Route taken in the direction of the Route d'Étaules - Roche Tire-Barbe car park (there and back). Beautiful trail along the edge of the cliffs with views of the Val Suzon.

Quite a varied route with many beautiful viewpoints. Several rocky passages, one of the Côte d'Or's most beautiful valleys.

Explore the Messigny Forest to Sainte-Anne. Return via the BMX site to the village. A route with very little elevation gain. This hike through the forest is very pleasant in the summer, with lily of the valley in May and orchids and foxgloves in June.

I suggest a short walk that will take you through some of Dijon's parks, passing by a beautiful viewpoint overlooking Lac Kir.

Dijon is a remarkable city because it has been preserved by its history. Since its Gallo-Roman origins (3rd century), three major periods have shaped this city: the Middle Ages, with its churches, then the Valois, the great dukes of Burgundy; the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians' mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery trail is to take you through these different periods.

A short route offering unique views of the Combe à la Serpent, following little-used paths. Minimal elevation gain. Don’t always follow the markings (red and yellow); the route sometimes follows them and sometimes veers off.

This walk takes you along the Norges, through the villages of Norges (Haut and Bas), Bretigny and Clénay, and also across the start of the Langres Plateau as you head to the Fontaine aux Lions and return to Norges at the end.

From Norges-la-Ville town hall, take the Norges observatory trail. Follow a boardwalk on stilts to Norges-le-Bas, then discover the old stone houses of the villages of Norges and Brétigny.
