Departure from Auxonne (Côte-d'Or)
Auxonne is a small town with the distinctive feature of being surrounded by Vauban’s fortifications. Situated halfway between Dijon and Dôle, this little town is well worth a visit, whether for the fortifications – which are largely well-preserved – or for the Church of Notre-Dame, the castle or the riverside area along the Saône. This walk takes in all the cultural and tourist sites worth seeing within the town’s fortified walls. The first part of the route allows you to explore Vauban’s ramparts, whilst the second part takes you to discover the monuments in the historic centre.

Departure from Dole (Jura)
The Échappée Jurassienne is an invitation to discover, step by step, the striking diversity of the Jura Mountains. This 15-day itinerary links the west to the east, from the plains to the mountains, crossing the unspoilt landscapes of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park, far from the borders and close to the essentials.
From the peaceful canals of Dole, the trail winds its way through the most iconic sites of the Jura: the Cirque de Baume, lakes, remote valleys, viewpoints and deep forests, before ending majestically in Saint-Claude, a town nestled in the heart of the mountains.
Over the course of these 311 km, this itinerary becomes much more than a hike: it is a true distillation of the most exceptional things the Jura has to offer. The richness of the landscapes, the contrasts in altitude and the authenticity of the villages you encounter allow everyone to surpass themselves, immerse themselves fully in the wild beauty and reconnect with the essentials.
