Description of the walk

Meet in the car park in front of the church.

(S/E) The departure point is behind the church, follow the Route de Beaune. Go straight ahead towards Pussey, then immediately right onto Rue du Château.
Continue on the left along the farm track. Cross the tarmac road and continue along the farm track. At the next tarmac road, turn right. The road turns into a track as you approach Moulin Neuf.

(1) Turn around and stay on the tarmac road until the end of the street, then turn left onto Rue de la Lisselle. Turn right onto Rue du Petit Pussey. First turn left then right onto the D184. Take the farm track opposite.

(2) At the next junction, turn left. Continue straight ahead until you find the path on the left leading to a cattle shed. Follow it and pass in front of the cattle shed, then follow the path on the right.

(3) Take Route de Beaune on the left towards Allerey-sur-Saône and immediately take the small road on the right. Turn right twice, then left onto Rue du Petit Mont. Turn right again and then immediately left onto Rue de la Gare (you will be on the edge of a housing estate) towards Allerey station. You will find yourself facing Route de Chalon at the SNCF station building.

(4) Turn right towards Chalon-sur-Saône, cross the railway line (which is only used for transporting grain), cross the road and take the small dirt track (at the square on the left) at the foot of an old plane tree, which leads down to the wash house. From the wash house, take the "Voie Bleue" to the left.

(5) Turn left under the bridge, then take the first right. Continue along the greenway until you reach the last house on the riverbank near the remains of the suspension bridge.

(6) Turn left onto a path that joins Impasse du Pont Suspendu. Turn left onto Rue Claude Lebault and continue straight ahead until you reach Route de Verdun and the start of the footpath crossing Allerey. The path is on your right. Be careful when crossing Route de Seurre, which is quite wide and busy. (Former railway line).
All you have to do now is follow the footpath to the church (S/E).

Walking for the sake of walking, the route is flat, which may be appealing to those who dislike hills. But how boring! Apart from the section along the Saône, everything is ugly: the countryside disfigured by intensive farming, the dreary plain. You can cheer yourself up by having lunch at the restaurant in the village square.

Route chosen because there was no elevation gain (one walker had a foot injury).
Tracking on smartphones was a bit difficult due to bright light.

In the village, opposite the church, the ATYPIZZ' bar-brasserie offers a "worker's" menu or à la carte dishes at very reasonable prices, impeccable quality and a very friendly welcome...
It's a great way to end this easy hike, just a few kilometres from Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, where you can enjoy a fascinating visit to the Maison du Blé et du Pain museum.

A very pleasant and easy walk. I would have liked to visit the new mill, but as access was closed, not locked by a gate, and I didn't know whether it was private property or public land, and couldn't find anyone to ask, I didn't dare go in. What a shame!
