Circular route from village to village west of Cormatin
To the west of Cormatin, in the heart of the Ban Sacré, this walk may occasionally involve getting your feet wet during heavy rain, but above all it offers the chance to discover some of the most beautiful Cluniac sites.

This 10km loop hike starts from Saint-Clément-sur-Guye, with the Carapone at its highest point (440m), and takes in the villages of Saint-Clément-sur-Guye (Romanesque church listed as a historic monument in 1927, a tower to the east of the church), Rains, commune of Joncy (pretty stone houses), Le Petit Ballay, its square tower, its 'Murgers' (piles of stones removed from the vines), before Corcelles (hamlet of Saint-Clément).

A circular route to the north of Joncy
This route starting from Joncy will take you past plenty of stonework. From the quarries and stone houses in Rains to the Domaine du Petit Balay with its large square tower and a pile of stone gathered from fields.
Saint-André-le-Désert circular
The village of Saint-André-le-Désert is located between Clunisois and Charolais. I suggest this short walk in the heart of the Charolais cattle breeding region. The paths run through a landscape of rolling hills and hedgerows. You will pass through small hamlets with stone houses and places steeped in history. Suitable for families.
Vivier Circular Route and the Blanot Caves
A lovely walk, starting from a well-preserved village with a unique heritage.
Here, nothing comes without a bit of effort. You always have to go up before you can come down. But if you give it a go, your steps will take you through the vineyards to the Blanot caves, a protected site which, in winter, is home to small colonies of common pipistrelles and lesser and greater horseshoe bats – species that play a major role in the site’s reputation. The return journey will take you through the shade of the woods.
Circular walk between Blanot and Cortambert
This walk will take you from the Grison Valley to the Grosne Valley, climbing the slopes of the Bois de la Roche. The narrowness of the former will prepare you for the vast expanse of the latter. History will accompany your every step, with a deanery and castles adorning each of their slopes.
Circular Culey starting from Blanot
A beautiful, undulating route that will take you along a newly marked trail through the municipal woodlands of Blanot, offering some very pretty views, and through the Combe du Nivernais.
It continues along the Grison with its old mills before climbing up to Culey and reaching the shade of the woods on the Faitral path, which offers glimpses of the Grosne valley in places.
Blanot circular loop with gentle slopes
A gentle family walk, perfect for a first exploration of the undulating paths of the Clunis region.
Blanot – Vaux-sur-Aine – Blanot circular loop
A hilly route winding its way between the Clunisois and Mâconnais hills. Between Blanot and Azé, you’ll discover Vaux-sur-Aine and its castle, as well as La Bouzolle with its striking tower, much loved by Sacha Guitry.In any case, this is a somewhat challenging route that requires a bit of stamina and an adventurous spirit. It’s not an easy ride, but it offers its rewards.
Blanot circular loop via Mont Saint-Romain
A short, slightly challenging circular walk that takes you through vineyards, scrubland and woods from one of the most beautiful villages in the Clunisois region to its highest peak, Mont Saint-Romain, above which you can sometimes spot paragliders on certain days.
Green Walk: the wild springs at Blanot
Setting out on this walk means following in the footsteps of the men and women of yesteryear; it means experiencing first-hand what daily life was like in this valley. The hard work required to tame this land can still be felt in the places you pass through: the dry-stone walls lining the paths, built with patience; the wash houses weathered by the laundry so regularly scrubbed; the vines forced to take root in the soil…
From Col de la Percée to Mont Saint-Romain
A pleasant walk offering beautiful landscapes and viewpoints, between forest and meadows bordered by low dry-stone walls. The steepness is very gradual on the first part of the walk, allowing you to reach the summit of Mont Saint-Romain without any particular difficulty. On the return journey, the slopes are steeper, but never unmanageable. A perfect walk for those who want a good outing but don't want to put too much strain on their legs.
Blanot Cave and Mont Saint-Romain, starting from Donzy-le-Pertuis
A pleasant, wooded walk, with an optional detour to the Blanot Caves (entrance fee in summer) followed by a stunning viewpoint at Mont Saint-Romain.
