Chalindrey walks

This route, initially designed to connect to the Culmont-Chalindrey railway junction, has been extended to Dijon due to the cancellation of the train service! It crosses the mustard fields of the Côte-d'Or and the former sand pits of La Tille, which have been converted into ponds that are more popular with fishermen than tourists.

The walk is mainly through woodland, but with a few passages through farmland or pastures to vary the landscape. It visits four pleasant villages with churches and refreshing fountains, as well as several picnic areas. It offers views of Lac de la Mouche and winds its way along the foot of cliffs, some of which are jagged, such as along the "ecological trail" (from (15) to (16)).If you find the walk a little long, you can shorten it to about 15 km by cutting from (8) to (17).

Two-part hike: a beautiful forest loop ending at the animal park enclosures (fallow deer and wild boar), followed by a visit to the charming village of Auberive, with a tour of the former Cistercian abbey and a review of its rich history from its foundation in 1135 to its current status as a museum and exhibition venue.

This route allows you to explore the village of Auberive and its abbey (open to visitors; check opening times and days). Most of the route is through forest and offers views of the tufa formations (information panel on site).

Set off on a loop in the heart of the vast Corgebin State Forest, a stone's throw from Chaumont. Covering an area of 1,100 hectares, this forest became state property in 1789. Located in Haute-Marne, it is the closest state forest to the town of Chaumont, the department's prefecture. It is managed by the ONF (French National Forestry Office) for the sustainable production of quality wood, environmental protection and public access, while also allowing hunting in winter. It is very popular with the public, who come here to enjoy the peace and quiet and get in touch with nature on the outskirts of the town. It is a limestone plateau forest, consisting of beech-based deciduous stands. The landscapes are varied, ranging from coppice with standards to high forest. A nature trail starting at the Muguet visitor centre allows visitors to familiarise themselves with the main species present.

Superb village around the Bèze resurgence and its cave, which can be visited by boat.

Le Creux Bleu is the resurgence (kastic massif) of the Francheville stream, which disappears a few kilometres upstream and is located 20 metres from the Ignon river in the centre of the village.

From Norges-la-Ville town hall, take the Norges observatory trail. Follow a boardwalk on stilts to Norges-le-Bas, then discover the old stone houses of the villages of Norges and Brétigny. Along the way you'll see 4 washhouses, 2 small waterfalls and plenty of wildlife.Ideal for families, preferably from April to October.

Well-marked, fairly easy route (it is indicated on the hiking map (Dijon Ouest - Val Suzon - Sainte-Seine l'Abbaye - 3022ET). Beautiful views over the valley on a clear day. Itinerary initially structured in four parts (Les Balcons du Suzon, parts 1 to 4), with an outward and return section off the itinerary. ⚠️The complete trail is described here in its entirety, with no escape route.

Quite a varied route with many beautiful viewpoints. Several rocky passages, one of the Côte d'Or's most beautiful valleys.
