Église Saint-Pierre (Hauteville-lès-Dijon) walks

Dijon is a remarkable city because it has been preserved by its history. Since its Gallo-Roman origins (3rd century), three major periods have shaped this city: the Middle Ages, with its churches, then the Valois, the great dukes of Burgundy; the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians' mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery trail is to take you through these different periods.

This is stage 8, the final walk in the Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) series, starting in the world famous Grand Cru Burgundy wine town of Gevrey-Chambertin, ending on the outskirts of Dijon. It begins at Gevrey church, taking you past the Chateau up through woods to the delightful Parc Noisot and past Clos Napoleon vineyard and restaurant to the charming villages of Fixey, Couchey and Marsannay before passing the last major vineyard of the Cote d'Or to the outskirts of Dijon at Genove. It is dog friendly and a reasonably easy walk after a climb at the start. The Yellow Red (YR) lines to indicate the RDGC make for good navigation.
