Start from Chambolle-Musigny church car park.
(1) Head west through the village on the D122. At the T-junction, turn right into Rue de Vergy, then left into Rue Amont, which winds its way up the valley, still on the D122.
(2) At the last houses, take Chemin de la Chapelle on the left, parallel to the road. This leads to a car park, which you must cross to reach a play area.
(3) At the little chapel at the foot of the Grognot, turn left. Continue up the valley floor, until you reach the edge of the field.
(4) From this point, turn left along the forest to the south. When you reach the small road leading to the Château d'Entre deux Monts, turn right onto it, and enjoy the view of this beautiful castle. Drive past the castle to the Mantuan forest. There, turn left, south, on a flat road.
(5) Under an EHV power line, you'll find a White/Grey/White marker, which you follow to the left. Eventually you come to the hamlet of Corboin. Continue south on the small road towards Concoeur.
(6) Just after the Concoeur cemetery, turn right, uphill. Pass a water reservoir. The slope becomes more forgiving as you enter the Mantuan state forest.
(7) At the end of the large north/south ridge, turn left (south) along a line leading to the bottom of a valley (steep at the end of the descent). In the valley, you'll find the yellow Parcours Batier marker. Follow it downhill to the left. Following the yellow markings, you pass through blackcurrant fields and eventually come to the small D109 road, which you cross to continue for another hundred metres.
(8) Continue straight on, leaving the markings, turn right. Go up a small valley. You reach the plateau, continue straight on - pass under the first power line, going along the forest to then pass under the second.
At the T-junction near a stone quarry (lava), turn right onto the right path (Batier path, yellow markings). Leaving the right path, turn right at the top of the hill and head downhill, following the signs. Take a left turn and head north along the hillside. Follow the D109 up to the left for 250m, then turn right onto a good track on the plateau. Nice view of the Château du Clos Vougeot. When the yellow markings descend steeply to the bottom of the valley, leave them and continue straight ahead for 400m. You'll find the markings again. Follow it straight on.
(10) Cross the tarmac road and at the fork go right (no more signposting), reach a vineyard and at the bottom right, behind the wall, well hidden, a small staircase with a small path takes you back to Chambolle-Musigny. Turn left on the road, then in Chambolle Musigny, turn right towards the church.
Around Chambolle Musigny

Beautiful walk in a beautiful forest. Not many people on Mother's Day Sunday. The last part is in full sun, so avoid it in midsummer! But the scenery was beautiful and the vegetation full of flowers. A very pleasant walk.

A lovely hike when nature takes on its autumn colours, between sunny spells and showers.
A bit of poetry and humour with the Fruirouge hut on the Batier.

Hello
This route is very nice.
On the whole, the signs are sufficient, except for the crossing of the vineyards (plots 8 and 9). Unless I'm mistaken, the directions are wrong. It took us a while to finish the walk.
Otherwise a very pleasant walk.

Having the gpx track on a gps is a plus, especially between 3 and 4, I had to do a bit of off-trail to join the track at point 4. Be very careful after point 10 to find the stairs before entering Chambolle.
Nice walk, pleasant among the undergrowth, meadows, moors/teppes and vineyards.

This was a very pleasant walk for the first 4 hours (leaving at 8am) as we enjoyed the shade of the undergrowth as it was quite hot.
On the other hand, the last hour was spent out in the open, with a beautiful view of the vineyards, but the sun really took its toll on both our leather and our physical fitness.
But I have no regrets, except that it would be good to have coloured markers to follow along the route to avoid making mistakes. This exists in the Alps and it's reassuring!
I know that it takes a lot of work to set up the markings and to maintain them, and I'd like to thank all those who are involved in this work today.

A superb hike, absolutely worth doing in dry weather as the only difficulty, the steep slope at point 7, must be very perilous on wet ground.
It's a shame that Bernard21's description is so minimalist and incomplete. At many of the junctions, you wonder where to go next. We hike without a GPS and we've made 4 mistakes and covered many more kilometres than we'd planned. And yet it would be easy to find out more. For example, at point 3: at the 1st intersection, take the path on the left. At point 6: after passing the monument, turn left, then at the intersection take the left-hand path that runs alongside the leisure centre.
At point 4, we got completely lost: when we came to a fence that said "private property", we turned around (did we have to go on???) and headed for the Mantuan forest (we found out much later), where some friendly mountain bikers told us how to get to the Château d'Entre deux Monts. Ect, ect...
All this almost spoilt our fun, but the beauty of the surroundings won out, phew!

I changed it a little and turned the wrong way, heading for Clos Vougeot and then up the combe d'Orveaux, which joins the steeply ascending sentier du Bâtier.

Despite grey weather and a low ceiling, we did the whole route, or at least part of it (points 9-10-1, + combe d'orveaux option: 2 hours):
- very nice walk
- varied (forest in the combe, vines at the bottom of the combe, shrubs at the top,
- often a white path, very clear, beautiful views over the plain and the Clos de Vougeot.
Caution: the descent into the combe is very steep and slippery due to the rocky terrain.
Do it again in all seasons (better without rain!).

Lovely walk, beautiful scenery right from the start! Pass through some nice little villages.
For your information, a few hundred metres after point 10, you need to be careful not to miss the path you need to take on the right, as there's a fence in front of it.
