Parking available at the Rue de la Gare car park in Pont de Pany.
(S/E) With your back to the car park, head towards the village and immediately join Rue de Bourgogne. Continue to the Canal de Bourgogne.
(1) Turn left onto Rue de la Roche d'Anse, a route marked in pink. At the end of the street, follow the path through the woods, ignoring the one on the right, until you reach a crossroads.
(2) Take the path on the left, which climbs and passes the 477-metre altitude with Mont Aigu on your left. Go round it on the right, heading towards the “Belvédère”. Take care in wet weather, as the valley floor may be waterlogged. You’ll reach a junction.
(3) Turn right and follow the white markings to the right, along the ridge, towards the Roche d’Anse viewpoint, which offers a magnificent view of the surrounding forests and plains.
(4) Please note: continue by following the path down below the viewpoint. There is a steep section leading to the ring. Take care. Walk straight down until you reach the edge of the forest.
(5) Near the edge of the forest, take the path on the left for a few dozen metres, then turn right onto the path that leads into the woods until you reach the field you need to cross to get to the road.
(6) Follow the road to the right and join the D35. Take care, there is traffic.
(7) Walk past the 15th-century Château de Monculot, which once belonged to Lamartine, and continue along this road.
(8) Leave the main road and turn left onto the road leading to the village of Urcy. There is a picnic area with tables at the side of this road.
(9) In the centre of the village, you’ll find the wash house (where you can take shelter), the church, and, as you leave, on the right along Rue Lamartine, the works of a local sculptor are on display outdoors. Follow the D35 to the right for about a hundred metres.
(10) Leave the road and take a path on the left (cross) and follow it through fields and woods.
(11) Take the path on the left running alongside the fence and continue into the forest. Pass Combe Roulée.
(12) Head right towards the D104.
(13) Follow this road to the right and then turn left to reach Arcey (little traffic).
(14) Opposite the town hall, turn left and continue along Rue d'Amont towards Fontaine Sigré.
(15) Before the Fontaine Sigré, turn left onto the path leading into the woods, then, after 50 m, turn right to follow the Sentier Jean Sage, which is circular and arrives at a junction.
(16) At an altitude of 508, turn right onto the signposted route. Descend into the Chapelle aux Chiens valley and join the Canal de Bourgogne.
(17) Go under the bridge and follow the Canal de Bourgogne to the right as far as Pont de Pany.
