Description of the walk

Park in the centre of Voiteur (near the town hall, for example).

(S/E) Take the road to Lons. Follow the road on the left and continue straight ahead on Rue Sous Charrin. You will pass at the foot of a castle.

(1) Continue straight ahead on Rue du Quart aux Veaux.
At the end of the village, turn left and then left again. You will arrive in the vineyards.
Turn left onto the road that goes downhill, then right.

(2) You will arrive in Nevy-sur-Seille. Take the second road on the left (perpendicular) and cross the bridge. Turn left (picnic area available). A few metres further on, turn right and cross the road (caution: poor visibility).
Then take a path that goes uphill and passes behind the houses. At the end of the path, turn left, then right onto a path that goes uphill towards the vineyards. Then turn left and follow the path until you reach the edge of the forest. At the intersection marked by concrete paving, turn right onto the path that climbs steeply into the forest.
Turn right into the undergrowth, then right again. Go uphill, then left (towards a drinking trough). Continue along the path until you reach the village.

(3) Go around and visit this village through its narrow streets and viewpoints.
From the viewpoint on the north side, go down the street towards Ménétru (watch out for cars). Opposite a small street coming from the right, turn left onto a path that goes downhill and then uphill.

(4) Cross the road and take the Roman road to a meadow. Turn left.
At the end, follow the path to the left.
In the forest, at the signpost, stay on the high ground and follow the edge (marked by large stones) and continue through the forest.
Climb over the fence and go around the meadow on the left, then climb over the fence again to reach the Croix de Beaumont (panoramic view of Voiteur and the ruins of Arlay).

(5) Go down the path and turn left into the forest.
When you reach the village, go down the streets and head left towards the church.

(6) Pass in front of it, then turn right and then left.
Join a departmental road and continue on the left.

(7) Take an uphill path. Follow this path, keeping to the right. You will find yourself in the vineyards; head left towards Voiteur.

(8) Turn right and head towards the centre of Voiteur (S/E).

The description was difficult to follow, but luckily we had the app and GPS. This route is absolutely beautiful and allows you to see Chateau-Ch from all angles. Hilly landscape, through vineyards, highly recommended!
Walking sticks will be useful to help you navigate some of the steeper sections.
Comments on the description:
Point 2 Nevy s/ Seille: the bridge is CLOSED due to roadworks (until late autumn 2026). Do not turn back, but continue along the same street and take the next bridge about 500 metres further on. After crossing, follow the Seille river as closely as possible in the opposite direction, back towards Nevy
Point 4: "In the forest, etc." should read "large stones serving as a boundary" in the plural! These are slabs placed vertically to form a kind of palisade. As for the "fences to climb over", we never found them and do not understand the point of this detour in the forest. We therefore followed the GR 59 for the same result and a much simpler route! (thank you GPS...)
Point 5: at the exit of Menetru (intersection of the Frontenay road and the D205), there is a pretty square with a picnic area and a view of the vineyards
Point 7: Entering Voiteur. After crossing the Seille, there are a few shaded benches by the river

Très très belle randonnée ! Mais la partie avec l'ancienne route romaine peut être un peu glissante si le temps est humide.

Very nice, varied route, but cold and thick fog, so no visibility at the viewpoints (normal for 30 December). Just before entering Château Chalon, there is a small vineyard, a conservatory orchard, with a multitude of different grape varieties...
To be repeated in a milder season.

It's a very interesting route through the vineyards, passing through picturesque villages. Having dragged my grolles time and time again through all the routes on offer in this area, I've never tired of it.

Hello,
I did this walk on October 2023. Very nice walk, very varied between vineyards, forest, meadows and of course Chaton-Chalon. We recommend it without hesitation and will be back with family/friends.

Lovely route with village visits. Belvederes and hills to appreciate the area as a whole.
Description difficult to interpret, but useful phone application.
Do it again in autumn to enjoy the colours of the vines and forests.

Clear description, lovely walk. What's more, the village, on its promontory, is always visible, so there's little risk of error.

A superb walk for 6 people, including an 8-year-old child....easy and enjoyable. We left at 5.30pm and arrived just after 10pm.....not too hot and a superb sunset. Another significant advantage: no flow of tourists to Château Châlon
🙂🙂🙂😉
