There are several parking options at the entrance to and within the town of Chablis. If possible, park at the Town Hall car park.
(S/E) From Porte Noël, walk up the street of the same name until you reach Rue du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny. Turn right onto this street, passing the Tourist Office. Cross the two bridges over the River Serein.
(1) After the second bridge, turn right and follow the river. Continue straight on until you reach the junction with the Route de Tonnerre (D965).
(2) Cross the road carefully and turn left onto the small parallel road for about 80 metres. Turn right onto the first path leading into the vineyards. Carry on until you reach the famous “Montée Tonnerre” path.
(3) Turn right and follow the “Montée Tonnerre” for about 750 m until you reach the second junction, just before a telecoms mast. Turn left towards Fyé. Walk alongside the vineyards on a flat path, and as you approach the hamlet, take the second path on the left to reach it. Join the main road via Rue de Brechain.
(4) Turn left, and just before the church, take Rue de la Vaux, which climbs to the right, then quickly continue along the stony track heading north. As soon as the slope levels out, pass a small road on the right and carry on for another hundred metres or so until you reach a junction.
(5) Turn left, then right, heading west, and follow the widest path, passing three vineyard paths on the left. After skirting a field without vines, the path turns 90° south-west and gradually returns to the vineyards.
Begin the descent and, at the 235-metre mark, turn right to reach the start of a stony track. Turn left to descend a further 70 metres or so to a crossroads.
(6) Turn left into the Preuses vineyard. Cross this vineyard, then, just before reaching a small road, turn twice at 90° to enter the Vaudésir appellation. Follow the low wall to the entrance to the estate.
(7) At the small house, turn right up a flight of steps. Continue in the same direction until you reach a wider path. Head left, then take the first path on the right. After a short climb, cross the Vaudésir vineyard and reach a junction with the Valmur plot. Head south and walk downhill to the Château des Grenouilles
(8) Cross the Route de Tonnerre (D965) with care and keep to the right until you reach the junction. Then turn left, follow the River Serein along Avenue Jean Jaurès and arrive at a small car park on the right and the entrance to a park.
(9) Walk through the small park (playground and picnic tables). Cross the bridge over the Serein, then follow the river by turning left onto Rue Laffitte. At the end, turn right and you’ll come out onto Boulevard Lamarque.
(10) At the first junction, head left into Rue des Moulins. Cross Rue Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny and continue straight on along Rue Porte Noël to return to the Town Hall car park (S/E).
