Description of the walk

Start from the car park opposite the town hall.

(S/E) Walk down the street towards Marcilly-lès-Buxy and head back up towards the church. At the church, turn left towards Moulin de la Canne.

(1) Take the small stone bridge to cross the Guye. For the more adventurous, you can wade across. Cross the D245, stay on the tarmac road opposite, then continue along the forest track until you reach the three-way junction.

(2) Take the central path (do not take the path on the right or the left) and continue through the woods until you reach a junction at the top of the hill.

(3) Turn left for a short distance.

(4) At the fork, turn right and follow the forest path (in 2020, forestry work, pile of wood) and continue to the path with white stones.

(5) Turn left onto this path. The view opens up over Rimont.

(6) Panoramic view of this valley, where you can see various villages and hills such as Mont Saint-Vincent. Continue until you re-enter the woods at the junction.

(7) Turn right and continue along the path. At the junction, turn left towards Neuilly and cross the village.

(8) On leaving the village, continue along the tarmac road which turns left and enjoy the descent and the view before you. At the bottom, at the junction with the D977, take the first road on the left to avoid the main road. At the end of this street, turn left and you will find the car park opposite the Town Hall (S/E).

Enjoy the hike – it’s shorter than advertised (though this depends on your fitness level).
I recommend it

A varied walk through countryside, vineyards and woodland. However, part of the route is on roads or tarmac paths. No difficulty. We completed it in two hours without rushing.

A lovely walk through vineyards, woods, country lanes, past a wayside cross and a pretty religious monument in the forest.

Not too much tarmac.

A lovely, undulating route with beautiful scenery. There’s a bit of a climb.

A pleasant route. Several lovely views.
Just a comment on the route: after marker 7, we didn’t see (perhaps due to our own inattention) the path indicated on the Visorando route, which leads to the hamlet of Neuilly. We continued along the main path, which also took us to Neuilly but via the back of the hamlet’s private property. No problem, though; in fact, this unintended route is pleasant. But if it wasn’t marked by the creator of the Visorando route, it’s no doubt precisely because it leads to this private property.
Otherwise: a pleasant walk. Thank you
