Departure from Lamarche-sur-Saône (Côte-d'Or)
The origins of Lamarche are unknown. Nevertheless, the discovery in 1887 of polished stone axes and flint knives by Viscount Raoul Legouz de Saint-Seine suggests that the area was inhabited as early as the Neolithic period, although it seems that these tools, found at the confluence of the Bèze and the Saône, were carried here by the floods of these rivers.
This peaceful stroll through the national forest is a truly relaxing experience.

Departure from Trochères (Côte-d'Or)
Taking a walk around Trochères isn’t easy; canals block our path in many places, particularly in the Bois de Mordesson, whilst the Albane and Motte streams dictate our route. Not to mention the private woods, where access is prohibited.
So I suggest this family walk, which is still enjoyable and allows us to explore the outskirts of this village.
Places to see:
A 19th-century open-air washhouse at the western exit; the village also boasts the small 13th-century Church of the Nativity, rebuilt in the 18th century and restored with ochre-coloured render.
The two mills, Haut and Bas.

As well as a visit to the village and its famous castle, this walk will take you into the Bois de Charmois, where, like me, you might be lucky enough to spot some deer – outside of hunting season, of course.
