Departure from Amage (Haute-Saône)
Starting from Amage, this walk takes you up a little as you walk along the slopes of the Petit Ban, offering lovely views over the Breuchin valley. A little further on, the site of the Saint-Colomban Chapel will surprise you with its beauty and tranquillity. A lovely descent through the woods will take you back down to the plain at Sainte-Marie-en-Chanois. A detour via the Saint-Roch Chapel will allow you to enjoy the flat landscape at the bottom of the valley.

Departure from Mélisey (Haute-Saône)
A very beautiful hike to do with the family to discover or rediscover foxgloves, which are the local flower in June, and stroll around the ponds. Leave a car at the Parc de la Praille car park at the end of the circular hike to avoid finishing the circular with 1.5 km of uninteresting and disappointing road compared to the rest.
Feedback from several hikers reports poorly marked paths that are difficult to find or completely abandoned.
