Beire-le-Châtel walks

Beire-le-Châtel: canton of Saint-Apollinaire (formerly canton of Mirebeau). The village takes its name from the Gaulish word "Beire", meaning "plain". The discovery of a temple dedicated to Januaria recalls the position of Beire-le-Châtel in Gallo-Roman times, at the crossroads of ancient roads where the remains of two Roman roads can be found. In addition, six Gallo-Roman burials were found in 2019.

A pretty little village, with a stream and a mix of forest paths and open stretches. You can cover fewer kilometres by, for example, avoiding the loop around the grassy area. This route is described for Nordic walking but is also suitable for hiking.

A walk that combines a stroll through the old village of Saint-Julien and a visit to the surrounding area, before crossing part of the Clénay National Forest, following an active railway line, and returning via the Fontaine aux Lions in Saint-Julien, skirting Clénay. Please note: the route on the ground does not always correspond to the route on the IGN map due to forestry operations.

Does the village of Orgeux owe its name to ancient barley fields (Hordeu)? The Church of the Assumption dates back to the 13th century and features beautiful stained-glass windows in the choir. In the cemetery, there is a 17th-century calvary with a stone plaque. Adjacent to a small stone bridge, the wash house is built straddling a stream. A needle weir on the Norges slows the flow of the water just a stone’s throw away. A Roman road once crossed the area and, in 1967, a hoard of Gallo-Roman coins was unearthed in a sand pit.

This circular walk will take you around the charming village of Lux, its dam, the banks of the Tille, its fountains, its church, its park along the Tille, and the peaceful spot known as the Perte de la Venelle. Why not combine a walk with a picnic by the water (the Tille) in Lux, perhaps in the landscaped park?

A short walk in Mirebeau-sur-Bèze, in the national forest along the sommières and the Béze river.

The Ouche has been redeveloped, making it a great place for a walk in spring or autumn. You can collect walnuts in season. A very pleasant bucolic setting where you can watch the birds.

The origins of Lamarche are unknown. Nevertheless, the discovery in 1887 of polished stone axes and flint knives by Viscount Raoul Legouz de Saint-Seine suggests that the area was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period, although it seems that these tools, found at the confluence of the Bèze and the Saône, were carried here by the floods of these rivers. This peaceful stroll through the national forest is a truly relaxing experience.
