Hello,
A very beautiful hike, alternating between viewpoints, monuments, churches, landscapes, forests, vineyards and crops.
The first slope is a little steep but not difficult, with a steady incline on a good path.
Beautiful views.
Thank you for this hike.

A lovely walk along a historic route, Oppidum de Vergy, St Vivant Abbey. One small drawback: on the map, the crossroads sometimes hide the start of a road or route...

A beautiful ramp from the start with fairly high gradients up to the chapel at 1 km 7.
After that, beautiful views. Definitely a route worth repeating.
