Binges walks

An easy, family-friendly walk across the plain and through the woodland, partly shaded, partly sunny. On your way through Arçon, see the 12th-century Sainte-Anne Chapel, remodelled in the 17th century, located on Grande Rue. On leaving the woods, at a place called La Charme aux Loups, you’ll find the Sainte-Gertrude Chapel, which is not maintained.

An easy hike through woods and fields as you approach Belleneuve (Côte-d'Or).

A short, easy walk to discover a remarkable tree, "Les Six Filles", and remember the Maquis des Lochères.

This hike will take you through the town's green spaces, around the lake and along the Tille river.

This walk through the national forest will take you past the castle, Noiron and Blagny. It follows a path once used by horses and pack animals to carry timber, charcoal and large game out of the forests, or to bring in woodcutters, charcoal burners and their equipment. We will visit the villages of Mirebeau-sur-Bèze and Noiron-sur-Bèze, through which the River Béze flows.

Arcelot, Arceau, Fouchanges; three villages that have always formed a single commune, crossed by the River Tille. Arceau is a rural commune situated 15 minutes from Dijon in a protected environment. Once situated on the Roman road linking Mirebeau to Dijon, the town was undoubtedly provided very early on with a single-arched bridge spanning the River Tille, which gave its name to the village. In the 17th century, General Gallas’s troops pillaged and burned the town.

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.

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.

From the vast Longchamp forest to the banks of the Saône, this walk offers an unexpected variety of landscapes on the edge of the Val de Saône: rich flora and fauna, charming villages with their churches, wash houses and the château in Athé. There is also the dam on the Saône and the Plate in Poncey-lès-Athée, the ponds in Magny-Montarlot and the magnificent villages with a rich history. Let's go!

An easy walk along the banks of the River Norges, crossing the plain south of Genlis and passing by the Longeault-Pluvault pond. The route has little shade and is mostly on stony paths.

After completing the circuit of the Étang du Milieu, this walk takes you up to the heights of Lamarche-sur-Saône, skirting the Pays Neuf. We’ll take the Voie Verte before walking through the woods known as the Grandes Charrières, then through the Leat aux Renards. We’ll return to the starting point by crossing the Pays Neuf.

Hike through the Bois des Ratières and Bois des Cognés woods where, depending on the season, you will discover these woods and their colours. Pass through Poncey-lés-Athée (unusual chapel) and walk along the banks of the Saône (dam). Return through the meadows.

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.

Starting from Pontailler-sur-Saône, the route leads through the communal forests of Pontailler and Maxilly-sur-Saône before descending via the Canal de la Marne à la Saône and then along the Saône to return to Pontailler.

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.

This walk takes place partly along the Ouche river (Oscara in Latin). It has its source in Lusigny-sur-Ouche. This commune is the guardian of the sources of the Ouche. The village is particularly charming with its stone houses.

This route will take you to Oisilly. You will see a beautiful viaduct, which you can detour to see , the Mirebeau Forest, Cheuge and its drawbridge, famous for the filming of the film "La Veuve Couderc", the Renève Forest and the village, its castle, its two very pretty wash houses, and its rather unusual war memorial. You can also visit the Halte Brunehaut to discover the history of Queen Brunehaut and the exhibition of Gallo-Roman remains found around Renève.

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. Picnics are possible by the pond.Note:La Gaule de Neuilly is organising its Enduro Carpes from 23 to 25 May (2025) at theNeuilly-Crimoloispond.

A pleasant, easy walk exploring the two villages of Athée and Poncey-lès-Athée, which also takes in the drinking water treatment plant and its catchments for the Dijon metropolitan area, the Poncey dam, the church and the Athée retirement home.

This circular loop takes you through two villages in the Côte d'Or: Soirans, with its semi-circular wash house and its12th-century church, and Tréclun, with its highly original town hall, including its decorative features, as well as an unusual bus shelter.
