Departure from Salives (Côte-d'Or)
Salives, a must-see medieval village in Côte d'Or: its ramparts, its keep, the heraldic route recounting the medieval life of the village, and its wash house with the main source of the Tille river under the church. This route also takes in Barjon Castle and Saint-Frodulphe Chapel. A little further on, there is a mill with a water wheel that is still in working order. Also worth seeing in Le Meix are the wash house beneath the town hall and the château.

Departure from Avot (Côte-d'Or)
This is the first of eight stages in the Côte d’Or valleys on the Mediterranean side of the Atlantic/Mediterranean watershed. We set off from the entrance to the Forêts National Park and then cross the Mont de l’Échelle and Bonière State Forests. We then emerge onto a path jutting out above the Ignon valley. The heritage sites include wash houses, hemp retting pits, wells and a communal oven converted into a shelter.
