Chevagny-sur-Guye walks

The village of Saint-André-le-Désert is located between Clunisois and Charolais. I suggest this short walk in the heart of the Charolais cattle breeding region. The paths run through a landscape of rolling hills and hedgerows. You will pass through small hamlets with stone houses and places steeped in history. Suitable for families.

This 10km loop hike starts from Saint-Clément-sur-Guye, with the Carapone at its highest point (440m), and takes in the villages of Saint-Clément-sur-Guye (Romanesque church listed as a historic monument in 1927, a tower to the east of the church), Rains, commune of Joncy (pretty stone houses), Le Petit Ballay, its square tower, its 'Murgers' (piles of stones removed from the vines), before Corcelles (hamlet of Saint-Clément).

A walk in the countryside of Genouilly, a small rural village in the Guye valley, between the limestone hillsides where vines grow and the granite forest chaos. Rivers, hedges and copses punctuate this hike, which follows paths and small roads.

On the GR®7 trail between the Col des Vaux, in the commune of Verosvres, and Chevagny-sur-Guye, passing by the Butte de Suin This is a very quiet section of the GR®7. There are no signposts at some junctions and no footprints in the tall grass to mark the route, so you must take an IGN map with you, although a GPS device is preferable. This section of the GR® needs to be more popular, as it is not difficult and offers beautiful scenery. The view from the Butte de Suin is magnificent.

On the GR®7 trail, between the Col des Vaux in the commune of Verosvres and Mont Rigaud, passing through the village of Saint-Bonnet-des-Bruyères. There are many shaded sections in the forest and beautiful landscapes. The trail is sometimes unmarked, so bring an IGN map, but it is preferable to have a GPS device.

A hill walk with no major challenges, in an unspoilt setting with villages overlooked by Mont Bouzu. Changing views all along the way, including a wide shot of Mont Saint-Vincent and a visit to the Château de Pontus-de-Thyard.

A pleasant hike of around 20 kilometres with no particular difficulties, this hike can be done in the opposite direction to that indicated.

A pleasant walk offering beautiful landscapes and viewpoints, between forest and meadows bordered by low dry-stone walls. The steepness is very gradual on the first part of the walk, allowing you to reach the summit of Mont Saint-Romain without any particular difficulty. On the return journey, the slopes are steeper, but never unmanageable. A perfect walk for those who want a good outing but don't want to put too much strain on their legs.

Saint-Laurent d'Andenay, a small village near Montchanin, is crossed by the Paris-Marseille TGV line. During this walk, you can take a picnic break on the banks of the pond, where tables are available.

A hilly hike south of the Côte Chalonnaise, where calcareous grasslands have not entirely given way to vineyards. Although the forest is never far away, the walk offers unobstructed views for most of the route.

An easy, pleasant walk near the Etang de la Sorme. Beautiful scenery and little change in altitude.A few stretches on tarmac, but not very busy.
