Departure from Selongey (Côte-d'Or)
The Selongey area, home to the SEB pressure cooker, invites you to explore its Tertre hiking trail. Its name comes from the woodland you will pass through during this hike, which reaches a highest point of 415 m.
You will pass by the statue of the Virgin Mary, along the Tille and Venelle wind farm, before descending into the village. You will continue the walk along Rue du Mont and pass by the Church of Saint-Rémy de Foncegrive on your return to Selongey.

Departure from Selongey (Côte-d'Or)
Gradually leave Selongey behind as you climb higher to discover the Venelle valley from a different perspective.
This circular route links Selongey to Foncegrive, alternating between country lanes, woodland paths and village crossings. After an initial section through the woods, the route reaches the heights of Foncegrive and its viewpoint. The walk then passes through the village before gaining altitude again via the paths and woods of Gency.
The return journey to Selongey offers one final change of scenery. The natural landscapes gradually give way to the urban and industrial heritage of a town closely linked to the history of SEB and the famous Cocotte-Minute.

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.
