Description of the walk

Park in the cemetery car park.

(S/E) Return to the tarmac road and turn right to reach the wash house. Walk past the stone troughs.

(1) Turn right again to walk up Rue des Jardins to the end. Ignore the road on the left which leads back up into the village and head down the road on the right towards La Bussière-sur-Ouche.
Ignore a dirt track on your right and carry on until you reach the second one, with a stone porch (the IGN map is incorrect at this point).

(2) Head down to the right towards the Creuse, then climb up the other side, staying on the main track.

(3) At the three-way junction, turn right. Keep to the right at the next junction, staying on the main track. You may spot some game in the large field on the left. Head back down a stony track and carry straight on at the crossroads.

(4) Once you reach the road, turn right and head down to the Vieux Moulin. After passing it, follow a grassy path just after the hairpin bend and head back up to the road. Turn right towards the village and turn right again at the bend to reach the cemetery (A/D).

A short and easy walk in the immediate vicinity of Châteauneuf. A nice way to stretch your legs before visiting the village and the château.
Please note: the possibility of spotting wildlife may also mean that hunting is taking place (signs).

A really lovely walk. A few ‘steep bits’ as mentioned, but nothing too difficult! We did it with children aged 3 and 8. The view of the castle on the way back is brilliant!
As a bonus, we spotted a roe deer amongst the sunflowers! Highly recommended.

This magnificent village, which ranks among the most beautiful villages in France, is well worth a visit for its wonderful medieval fortress. Pass through the pretty villages of Bouhey and Crugey with their wash houses, then cross the Burgundy Canal.

⚑Departure from Meilly-sur-Rouvres (Côte-d'Or)
A hike along the Burgundy Canal, its supply channels and a reservoir, to discover how the canal works. It does not cross any forests, which means you won't find yourself in the middle of big game hunting season. It is therefore a beautiful hike for sunny winter days.

A circular route starting from the village of La Bussière-sur-Ouche, linking the châteaux of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, Commarin and L'Oizerolle, running briefly alongside the Panthier reservoir and then, on the return leg, skirting the hamlet of "La Pourrie", a private estate still owned by the family of the Burgundian writer Henri Vincenot.

The Gironde is a stream that flows into the Ouche at Barbirey-sur-Ouche (Côte-d'Or). Its raging waters have carved out a narrow valley where rocky cliffs alternate with green slopes. The trail starts at the Jaugey wash house, classified as a "remarkable monument", and climbs up to the Roche de s'Laye balcony. It then continues to the Roche de l'Eau balcony and the charming hamlet of La Montagne. It then returns to the Jaugey slope to climb up to its balcony before reaching La Table du Druide.
