Laignes walks
Ravières Circular
Fairly simple walk, mainly on gravel paths. The third kilometre climbs reasonably, but it is in the forest in the shade. On the plateau the path undulates between the fields. After the Chapelle Sainte-Anne, you leave the plateau via a reasonably steep little asphalt road to reach Ravières again.
Forests and vineyards above Ricey Bas and Balnot
This circular walk takes us into the vineyard area of Les Riceys and Balnot-sur-Laignes. Leaving the vineyards behind, the return journey follows the course of the Laignes river and takes the route of the old "tacot" railway line which, from 1901, linked Les Riceys-Polisot to Cunfin.
Around the Brévon valley, starting from Rochefort
Far from busy roads, this is a small, hilly, shaded route full of running water, where it is not uncommon to see roe deer, does, birds of prey and herons. Discover hidden villages in northern Burgundy.
Circular starting from Prusy
The route is fairly simple and allows you to walk along the paths around Prusy. It is mainly paths, but there are also a few sections on the road (essential for getting to the church). When you arrive at Saint-Edme Church, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the fields.
Prusy-Coussegrey circular
This circular route allows you to reach Coussegrey via the paths from Prusy. This route is fairly simple with a few climbs and stony paths. It is an easy route, but wear good, comfortable shoes to enjoy these beautiful trails.
Circuit of rediscovered paths from Moutiers-Saint-Jean
The Chemins d'Auxois Association offers you its first circuit created using paths that have been reopened by the association. This beautiful walk has been designed to make the most of the footpaths, dirt tracks and white roads that will allow you to walk far away from cars.
Come and discover trails you've never walked before! Our tours are unique and do not follow existing signposts.
They are also suitable for mountain bikes and horses.
Route from the Douix Cave to Darcey
This route has been redeveloped and made safer. It allows you to bypass the Douix river and walk through a pleasant boxwood forest before reaching the village of Darcey and then the cave. It is not listed on IGN maps, which is why I used the Visorando app to track my route and highlight it.
Short circular in the Flogny-la-Chapelle communal forest
The shaded forest atmosphere typical of the humid Champagne region can be enjoyed along this entire route, which is accessible on foot or by mountain bike. This route is strongly discouraged during the forest hunting season, from October to March, on Sundays and Wednesdays.
A walk in the wet Champagne region: the Gros Chêne
This route leads to a local landmark, Le Gros Chêne, where a sign recounts the history of this three-hundred-year-old oak tree, which is no longer there, but where an oak tree from the year 2000 was planted by the village schoolchildren in 2002 to mark the turn of the century and to remember our venerable ancestor.
Montréal in the Yonne
This hike can be combined with a sound and light show organised by the "Montréal en lumière" association.
It can be reached on foot via the Fontenay-Vézelay path.

From April to June, magnificent orchids bloom on the calcareous soils of the Côte de l'Église and Côte Garnier. This route largely follows the Circuit de la Croix Bleue. It also follows the GR® de Pays des deux Bar and the GR® Gaston Bachelard.
The Wolf Trail in Sommeval
The Sentier du Loup trail circles Sommeval. This pretty little village stretches out in a valley which, like an amphitheatre, is surrounded on three sides by wooded hills. The trail allows visitors to discover one of the last dry grasslands in the Pays d'Othe.
The trail is well maintained and clearly marked, but it is not recommended during the hunting season, from November to February.

This variation of the Loup trail goes around Sommeval, a pretty little village nestled in a valley which, like an amphitheatre, is surrounded on three sides by wooded hills. The trail allows you to discover one of the last dry grasslands in the Pays d'Othe and to cross the forests of Javernant and Sommeval.
The trail is well maintained and clearly marked, but it is not recommended during the hunting season, from November to February.
The sources of the Seine and their surroundings
A bucolic stroll to the sources of the Seine, passing by a pond designed by a contemporary Swiss artist and the ruins of a former 12th-century hermitage.
The Sentier des Moutons from Bouilly
This trail follows one of the sheep tracks that allowed herds to move from the surrounding villages to the Essarts plateau when it was used as grazing land in the 19th century.
Since then, it has become a beautiful forest.
Sources of the Seine and the Ignon
A lovely hike in the Alésia region that will take you from spring to spring.
Moderator's note , the source of the Ignon, is inaccessible; see reviews.

Montaigu via Les Grandes Vallées
From the heights of Laines-aux-Bois, descend to the plain, visit the Fontaine site, the remains of the Gallo-Roman oppidum and the traces of the castle at the Montaigu nature site, then return via the Sentier des Moutons trail, ending with a walk through the charming hamlet of Les Grandes Vallées.
This route avoids the steepest paths.
