This lovely walk through woods and the village will take you to the magnificent site of the Fontaine des Essarts, with its spring, its wash house, its tuff waterfalls, and its two basins which were used to retting the hemp – that is, to soften the fibres by soaking them. You’ll also pass by the village washhouse and the pretty church. And finally, you’ll be able to admire some beautiful beech woods.

Departure from Dijon (Côte-d'Or)
Dijon is a remarkable city, shaped by its history. Since its Gallo-Roman origins (3rd century), three major periods have shaped this city: the Middle Ages, with its churches; then the Valois, Grand Dukes of Burgundy; and the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians’ mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery walk is to take you through these different periods.
