Étaules (Côte-d'Or) walks

A lovely trail that passes by an old 18th-century washhouse, a spring and a promontory fort that takes us back 6,000 years.

Quite a varied route with many beautiful viewpoints. Several rocky passages, one of the Côte d'Or's most beautiful valleys.

Well-marked, fairly easy route (it is indicated on the hiking map (Dijon Ouest - Val Suzon - Sainte-Seine l'Abbaye - 3022ET).Beautiful views over the valley on a clear day.Itinerary initially structured in four parts (Les Balcons du Suzon, parts 1 to 4), with an outward and return section off the itinerary. ⚠️The complete trail is described here in its entirety, with no escape route.

This hiking itinerary takes in three springs and beautiful panoramas along wooded paths that wind their way through pretty combes.

A beautiful walk, two-thirds of it shaded, in the countryside at the gateway to Dijon, between Talant and Plombières, between valleys and vineyards, with beautiful views over Talant, the Ouche valley and Mont Afrique in the distance. The incline is reasonable and broken down into three short climbs, making this a very easy and relatively fast walk.

Lac Chanoine Kir loop through the heights of Talant, Plombières-lès-Dijon and Fontaine d'Ouche.A route between town and nature, with beautiful views over the lake.

This route takes in the small Côte d'Orienne commune of Saint-Martin-du-Mont, the natural site of the Ru Blanc and the remains of a medieval village dating back to the 14th century.

A beautiful view from Roche Aigüe and an interesting glimpse at old mining installations

This path crosses the Channel-Mediterranean ridgeline via the "mountain", into which the 4km Blaizy tunnel is bored.Along the way, discover the XV ventilation shaft, the panorama of the Ouche valley and the Baulme la Roche cliff.

Discover the witch village of Mâlain, its castle and the village of Prâlon.

Pass through the Cent Marches de Fixin (100 steps), then head for the top of the Combe de Fixey on the south side, then on the north side to descend through the vineyards.

This a short pleasant walk, mostly in the shady forest with just a modest amount of climbing. There is a fascinating historic connection in that one of Napoleon’s grenadier guards, Noisot, created in his own name the Parc Noisot and the associated walks, waymarked with symbols of Napoleons’ Russian, Egyptian and Italian military campaigns.This guide is for the longer but most fulfilling route – the Russian route. About halfway along is a staircase of 100 steps marking the number of days Napoleon took to regain power after release from first captivity.The walk is also of geological interest, being part of the Combe de Fixin. The meaning of Combe is a narrow gorge, ravine or small valley often containing a mixture of limestone, cliff faces, and forestry, leading to a plateau, but with no significant water course, with similarity to the Combes in England such as Ilfracombe. The excellent Tourist Office in the nearby and famous Gevry Chambertin can tell you more.

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.

Nice walk, starting from Barbirey-sur-Ouche, on both sides of the Gyronde valley, to the old Oizerolles farm and back via the Marigny hills.

Superb village around the Bèze resurgence and its cave, which can be visited by boat.

This is stage 7 in the series of Route des Grands Crus walks runs from Nuits-St-Georges through the vineyards and woods and combes to Gevrey-Chambertin.
