This beautiful circular walk, which presents no major difficulties, takes you through the woods on the hills above Autun, passing the Pierre de Couhard, the little Brisecou waterfall and the northern and north-eastern ramparts of the Château du Petit Montjeu, which unfortunately cannot be seen or visited. A very shaded walk, making it refreshing in summer.

This is a day-long walk through the Bois d’Autun, allowing you to explore the hills above Autun and the woods overlooking the town. These woods are part of a forestry consortium dedicated to the conservation of the Morvan’s deciduous trees. I have described a walk, but it is still a fairly long day’s route which you can shorten, as the entire estate is criss-crossed by numerous paths. What I suggest is that you follow part of the signposted route, then occasionally stray from it to explore a few paths that are not marked on the maps.
