This walk between two villages in the Ouche Valley, listed in the Côte d’Or PDIPR, is a variation on the Tour de Marigny. It bypasses the section running from the Table du Druide to Marigny Castle to head directly to Auvillard. This circular loop thus halves the distance, making for an easy walk of less than 7 km, comprising a slightly uphill outbound leg to Saint-Victor through woodland and meadows, and a flat return to Barbirey between the Ouche and the Burgundy Canal.
