Description of the walk

Park in Magny-sur-Tille in a car park near the sports ground (close to the village hall). To get there, take the first road on the left when coming from Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur. A sign describing the walk is located near the car park.

(S/E) Follow the yellow markings, head north-north-west and follow the path for about 1 km. Pass under a high-voltage power line.

(1) Turn right at the signpost towards the ponds (heading east-north-east). When you reach the ponds, turn left towards the north.

(2) At the end of the pond, turn right heading east for 200 metres. Continue to the right for a few metres, then turn left. At the end of the ponds, turn right (south) and follow the small stream (Rivière Neuve) for 700 metres.

(3) At the corner of the pond, turn right (west) and, after following the pond for 250 metres, follow the yellow markings as they wind through a wetland area.

(4) Heading south-west, make your way to the car park near the sports ground (S/E).

Worth a visit

The river that flows through Magny-sur-Tille is the Norges (not the Tille).
The Marais route offers the chance to spot numerous birds on the ponds.
Finally, it is worth noting that Françoise Sauvestre, known for her miracles, was born in Magny-sur-Tille in 1818. You can pay your respects at her grave in the village cemetery.

It’s true that from point 2 to point 4, Lac de la Tille is signposted on yellow signs, but there is no access to the lake where the route runs alongside it after point 4; so if you follow the ‘Lac de la Tille’ sign, you won’t reach it: so you have to pay (a lot!) to access this private lake via another path!

I’m a bit naive: the yellow signposts say ‘Route du Maris, Lac de la Tille’....

Lac de la Tille is private property and there is an admission charge. It’s no surprise that it can’t be accessed from the suggested route!

A lovely family walk; suitable for children on bikes. In winter, with no foliage, the small ponds are visible
However, there is no direct access from this route to ‘Lac de la Tille’, which is marked on the signposts.

A walk with absolutely nothing to it.
The ponds are private and hidden behind hedges; there’s nowhere to rest apart from at the end of the walk, where there’s a hut that’s been taken over by a group of young people (cannabis, alcohol, motorbikes...)
The only highlight is the lake at the start of the walk...
