Bulligny walks

A route to discover the heritage of the wine-growing village of Bulligny, its vineyards, woods and mysterious "blue pond". With a beautiful view of the Côtes de Toul vineyards.

Return via a path lined with periwinkles and pass by a mirabelle plum orchard where you can see deer feasting.

With the Jubilee Year of Hope, since November 2024, our Catholic Church in the Vosges has developed a proposal: "Saprée Vadrouille, travel journal for paths of hope", with three issues per year focusing on liturgical times and the saints of the Vosges.Several itineraries are proposed in the Vosges as local pilgrimages and paths of hope. This is an opportunity to rediscover our region and our local saints throughout the Vosges department. Each itinerary can be done independently of the others, at any time of year. "Dans le pays de Jeanne" (In the Land of Joan) is the itinerary proposed in the second issue of "Saprée Vadrouille", which you can discover here.
