Étang-sur-Arroux walks

No particular difficulties in dry weather. In wet weather, there is a potentially muddy section north of the Bois du Clou.

A lovely walk starting from the pretty little village of La Chapelle-sous-Uchon, taking us through the hamlets of Murger and Vilclair.

This route allows you to discover the beautiful rolling countryside around Uchon. Forests of beech, oak, chestnut and Douglas fir alternate with pastures and small ponds. And, of course, you’ll see the many granite boulders – typical of the Uchon mountains – that dot the route, including the famous Rochers du Carnaval and the magnificent viewpoint over the Arroux plain and Mont Beuvray. The route is mostly shaded, making it very pleasant on sunny days.

A walk through the Broye hills starting from the village, with a gradual climb, passing through Champmartin, the Porte de Broye and the Étang du Fou. Throughout the route, you’ll enjoy the shade of the trees and a variety of vegetation.

This short circuit, accessible to all, passes by several ponds and most of Uchon's rocky sites. 85% of the route is in the shade. It's a short walk, but you can enjoy a meal beforehand or afterwards at the Auberge de la Croix de Messire Jean (hostel).

Uchon is considered "the pearl of Morvan": a corner of unspoilt nature.

The route proposed here has several objectives, including encouraging walkers to discover short and long-distance hiking trails by following the markings. On this circuit, in addition to the wolf-themed signage specific to the Circuit de la Louvetière, you will also encounter yellow markings that can be found throughout France.

The second stage of this circular Beuvray will take you on a journey of discovery through pretty villages and beautiful landscapes. Little by little, you climb through the forest towards Beuvray, the summit where the majestic Bibracte of the Aedui stood inthe 1st century BC.

Start at the Carrefour du Gros Chêne, then a walk through the old town before climbing through the woodland to the Chemin des Sources, which follows the contour line. Return via the Étang des Cloix, then the Chemin des Chèvres and finally along the Roman ramparts.

The official name of the hike is: "Towards the Méchet Valley, from Bibracte to La Grande Verrière".From the Bibracte car park, leave the forest and set off to explore the Méchet Valley, with its pretty villages and small heritage sites, a beautiful discovery in the South Morvan. Breathe in the fresh air, you are in the Grand Site de France "Bibracte Morvan des Sommets".

The ancient oppidum of Bibracte was the largest city of the Aedui, a very powerful Gallic people one hundred years before our era. The largest rampart dates from the2nd century BCE, is 7 km long and was built before the smaller one, which is 5 km long, thus reducing the space. It was built on the principle of the murus gallicus, a construction made of earth solidified by interlocking layers of horizontal beams with a dry stone facing, an architectural technique admired by Caesar. This beautiful walk gives a glimpse of the grandeur of this ancient city as you follow in the footsteps of the Gauls through the majestic forest of Mont Beuvray.

South of Le Beuvray, the landscape changes dramatically: you emerge from the forests and the view stretches further afield; the colour shifts from pine green to the spring green of the hills, and the small pastures bordered by low stone walls are a delight for the white cows. From ponds to mills, following the streams, water is an integral part of the southern Morvan.

This hike offers an escape to the time of the Eduens in the Morvan Forest. There are many explanatory panels and beautiful views. As it is not very long, it can be complemented by a visit to the Bibracte Museum, known as the "Museum of Celtic Civilisation", in the car park.

A three-day hike starting from Bibracte, with no major difficulties apart from the length of the first stage. By observing the landscape and the place names, you’ll be transported back to the days of the timber raftsmen who used streams and then rivers to transport timber to Paris, via the Yonne and the Seine. A thriving industry that provided work for thousands of people in the Morvan fromthe 16th century until 1926.

First part of a three-day hike exploring the landscapes of the Southern Morvan. This first stage is long and difficult; it is possible to split it into two by staying overnight at “La Rivière” near Crot Morin. The Gorges de la Canche are a sensitive site classified as a Natura 2000 area; it is essential to preserve it and to be discreet. This magnificent site can only be accessed in good weather, never after a storm, snow or ice. A track allows you to bypass it if necessary.

This hike marks the start of the Grande Traversée de la Bourgogne du Sud (Great Crossing of Southern Burgundy), which, together with the Grande Traversée de l'Yonne and the Grande Traversée du Morvan, make up the Via Burgundia. Starting from Montereau-Fault-Yonne, this route takes you to Mâcon, crossing history through heritage and diverse landscapes.

From its summit at 821 metres, Mont Beuvray offers a wide range of activities, including a visit to the archaeological site of the Bibracte oppidum, the Bibracte Museum dedicated to Gallic civilisation, and plenty of walking options such as the tour of the ramparts or long-distance walking routes like theGR®®13or theGR®®131.And if, by chance, mist rolls in at the end of your walk, the atmosphere it creates is sure to give you goosebumps.
