From Beire-le-Châtel to Spoy and back

Beire-le-Châtel: canton of Saint-Apollinaire (formerly canton of Mirebeau).
The village takes its name from the Gaulish word "Beire", meaning "plain". The discovery of a temple dedicated to Januaria recalls the position of Beire-le-Châtel in Gallo-Roman times, at the crossroads of ancient roads where the remains of two Roman roads can be found. In addition, six Gallo-Roman burials were found in 2019.

Parking is available to the right of the church in Beire-le-Châtel.

(S/E) From the car park, turn right onto Route de Dijon to reach Ruelle de la Dime, to the left of the café on the square. Continue along Ruelle des Amours until you reach the crossroads with Rue du Château. At the crossroads, turn left, leave Place du Charme on your right and head towards the bridge.
Cross the bridge over the Tille and take a look at the castle.

(1) Take the path on the right after the bridge. At the first Y-junction, continue by taking the stony path on the right until you reach a tarmac road.

The start is busy but you quickly find yourself in a quieter spot / the first part is more varied than the second, where there are lots of fields / unobstructed view / cool weather
Thank you for the itinerary.

Perfect for a winter hike 👍 No woods, no hunters 😜
We extended our trip by a few kilometres to visit Spoy church and a typical house, which are worth seeing.

A pleasant route, half sunny, half shaded and almost entirely flat. The church at Beire-le-Châtel is worth a visit. Approximately 30 km from Dijon.
