The walk is dog friendly. This is stage 2 of the Route des Grands Crus.

At first glance, this is a peaceful hike through the vineyards, but it gains altitude with the charming, stony paths of the Montagne d'Auxey.

A beautiful hike through villages and their prestigious vineyards, pleasant paths through the woods, over stubble fields and along balconies. Ideally to be done at the very beginning of autumn to enjoy the colours of the vineyards.

Ups and downs in the heart of the Montagne d'Auxey and its stony paths that take us from one side of the Ruisseau des Cloux to the other, to the edge of the Saint-Romain cliffs. A variety of landscapes to discover at your leisure through stubble fields, woods and vineyards at your own pace for a full or half day.

Fontaines: a village of stone and water, rich in history and talent. Step back in time as you explore this village of Gallo-Roman origin, whose history stretches back over two thousand years, as evidenced by recent archaeological excavations. Discover the old quarries, which were in operation from Gallo-Roman times until the early 1970s. They bear witness to the importance of stone quarrying in the history of Fontaines. Water is omnipresent in Fontaines, with its many springs and watercourses. It has shaped the landscape and contributed to the village’s growth.

Welcome to Fontaines, a village dating back to the Gallo-Roman period: recent discoveries suggest that the area has been inhabited since much earlier times. The “Fontaines Patrimoines” association invites you to take a tour of our village, organised here around the five wash houses.

Imagine a place where nature reveals itself in all its splendour. In the Bois de Nainglet, you’ll discover a Biodiversity Discovery Trail. The Bois de Nainglet is much more than just a forest; it’s a true treasure trove of nature, a place where biodiversity flourishes with rare intensity. As you wander along the paths, glistening forest pools are home to an astonishing array of flora and fauna. ‘Dead’ trees, seemingly lifeless, turn out to be fully-fledged ecosystems in their own right, essential to the life of the forest.

On this hike, let yourself be guided between cliffs and caves, an ancient Neolithic site and beautiful vineyards.

Discover the Agneux caves, the medieval castle of Rully and the surroundings of Mercurey.

Coming from Fontaine or Chagny, enter Rully, follow the signs to Agneux, go through the hamlet and up the narrow road to the pass; you're on the site of the caves, park at the pass exit near the lagoon. This is where the hike begins.

For locals, "La Montagne de Beaune" is like a little paradise just a stone's throw from the big city. This well-known site can still surprise walkers with its scenery and its many perfectly maintained paths.

This is stage 4 of the Route des Grands Crus series (RDGC). It covers the path from Beaune outskirts at Bouzaise Park through to Savigny-lès-Beaune and then Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. It is dog-friendly and runs through charming villages, famous vineyards and wonderful countryside with great views. You will walk in both open country and the woods using good tracks or very quiet roads. There is some climbing but in general the walk is reasonably flat. Directions are well signposted.
