Starting point: the village hall, in front of which a sign describes all the walking routes around Rully. The one described here is marked Yellow, and numbered RU2 (but some signs are missing, and the markers are sometimes faded).
(S/E) Go up Rue Saint-Laurent towards Château Saint-Michel. Passing under the château chapel, take the steep Rue de l'Épée opposite. At the bottom of the street, turn immediately left towards the Place Sainte-Marie square, which you follow to the right until you reach the bakery. Then take the first street on the left, Rue du Bourgneuf, opposite the Post Office.
(1) Turn right into Rue de Remenot (there's a sign at the crossroads indicating RU2) and follow it to Marissou.
(2) Opposite the entrance to the house at no. 18, take the footpath on the left which climbs the hill. There's a Yellow marker on the ground on a stone at the entrance to the path, but it's almost faded and not very visible. At the fork, turn left to join the hillside path, which you must take on the left (a Yellow cross is on the ground on a stone in the path you came from). Beautiful views of the village of Rully, and Chalon-sur-Saône, La Bresse and sometimes Mont Blanc in the distance.
(3) At the signpost marked Remenot, we join the GR®76, which we'll now follow head-on. It runs deep into the boxwoods and is sometimes very narrow.
(4) As you leave the forest, you suddenly come to a cliff. The signposting at this point leaves much to be desired: Do not turn left as indicated on the IGN map, as the path is dangerous, especially in wet weather (very deep hole). Follow the path on the right, which briefly follows along the top of the cliff, then descends sharply until you reach the edge of a vineyard. Continue immediately to the left, along the wood, for a few metres on the way down.
(5) Before reaching the road, on the trunk of a tree, you'll find the GR® marker, which goes off to the left and runs alongside a stream which is usually dry. The path leads to the road at the top of the Hameau d'Agneux, which you need to reach. In this hamlet, take the road on the right (GR® mark on a signpost). Follow it to the left (don't take the track that runs straight ahead), until you come to another road, which you take to the right.
(6) Turn left onto a path that leads to the Hameau du Château. At the top of the road, turn left to reach the Château. In front of the Château, turn right onto the road that leads back to the starting point (the village hall is visible from the Château)(S/E).
