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.

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

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

Short hike to discover the Fontaine du Naizou and the village of Flavignerot.

From Norges-la-Ville town hall, take the Norges observatory trail. Follow a boardwalk on stilts to Norges-le-Bas, then discover the old stone houses of the villages of Norges and Brétigny. Along the way you'll see 4 washhouses, 2 small waterfalls and plenty of wildlife.Ideal for families, preferably from April to October.

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

A beautiful walk around Lantenay leading to the Pasques plateau via the little Chapelle Saint-Louis.The return journey takes you over the Combe d'Arvaux, with its panoramic views over the Ouche valley.

A good climb over a reasonable distance. A pleasant hike along the ridges of the combes, combining rocky landscapes, forests and caves. The route is fairly shady, ideal in fine weather.

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.

There are a number of interesting places to visit, including the 100 Fixin steps ('Cent Marches des Fixin') and the top of the Combe Lavaux ridges.

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 trail will take you to the 100 steps of Brochon and its valley and springs, and then the 100 steps of Fixin and its valley.

Magnificent valley at Vau de roche. Cliffs, rock shelters, caves, headlands and views of the famous Creux Percé abyss.

Combe d'Arvaux, known as Combe aux Mammouths, with its Cave aux Loups.

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.

Very nice walk with two aspects, the ascent through deciduous woods and the descent through a rocky area with a view of the Gevrey Chambertin vineyards.Quite a steep climb, with some tricky steps on the way down.Make sure you wear appropiate clothes.

You can discover the superb Combe Durey from the inside, as well as countless varieties of mushrooms.
