You are now entering the limestone grasslands of Nuits-Saint-Georges. At the top of the hill, under the power line, turn left. Continue along this path, which turns right further on. At the end, turn left onto the slightly downhill path and finish the descent, taking care on the rocks.

A pleasant and accessible walk. Beautiful stretches through the forest. Best done in autumn to enjoy the golden vineyards.

A magnificent hike around Nuits Saint Georges that gives you an excellent overview of the vineyards, valleys, Mantuan forest and the hamlets of Concoeur and Corboin. The slope in the woods west of Concoeur was very difficult due to the leaves and humidity, but it is easier to climb on the right, where zigzag tracks make it much easier. Similarly, the path around the forest (with views of the villages of Vergy and Saint Vivant) requires caution in autumn. Yesterday, we had a magnificent view on the way back: Mont Blanc in the distance on the horizon!

That's what we did a few days ago, because the path is really too grassy!

At point 8, rather than taking the grassy path (which was very grassy when we were there), you can follow the path taken by the monks of St Vivant Abbey (black dotted line to the right of the red line on the map) and rejoin the path after point 9.

A pleasant route with no major difficulties except for a steep and, above all, very slippery climb on wet ground.

I confirm: it's slippery
Climb in the morning, descent in the afternoon: much appreciated.
However, I have my doubts about the actual distance: it's much closer to 15 km than 14. This is a flaw in the IGN map, which probably doesn't take into account the many small bends.

Most of the route is in the forest, except for the last 4 km. One difficulty: a long climb in the forest that becomes steep...! Apart from this difficulty, it is a pleasant hike.
