Description of the walk

Head to Fauverney (21) and cross the village via Rue du Général de Gaulle.
On leaving the village, just before the bridge over the River Ouche, turn right onto Rue Neuve.
You will find the car park on your left at the edge of this street.

(S/E) Go down Rue Neuve to reach the D109 or Rue du Général de Gaulle.
At the crossroads, turn right and cross the bridge over the Ouche. "Be careful as there may be heavy traffic."
After the bridge: keep right on the gravel path and take the first road on the right. Continue along this road and, at the next crossroads, continue straight ahead on the dirt track along the wooded area. Ignore the road that continues towards the sports fields.

(1) At the T-junction, turn right onto the white gravel path. Continue along this road.

(2) Bridge over the A31 motorway. Continue straight ahead until you reach an altitude of 217.

(3) At the T-junction, turn right towards Les Planches, a former munitions depot.
Continue to the cemetery in the direction of Neuilly-lès-Dijon.

(4) At the cemetery, at the crossroads with Chemin de Rouvres, turn right for 150 metres, then right again to join Chemin du Pré Saint-Jacques between the River Ouche and the Neuilly-Crimolois pond.
Continue along the banks of the Ouche to the first bridge.

(5) Before crossing the bridge, turn right and walk around the small pond at a place called La Pièce du Saule.

(6) Then turn around to reach the iron bridge.

(5) Cross the iron bridge and take the path on the right to follow the Ouche river again on the other bank.

(7) Pass under the A31 motorway bridge.
Walk back up along the motorway to the first path on the right.
Take this path, which leads back to the river, and continue along it until you reach the crossroads.

(8) Continue along the path, staying alongside the Ouche, and after the playground on your left, keep to the left to return to the starting point (S/E).

A beautiful hike taken one morning after the fog lifted, with beautiful photos to be taken of the river.
The first part offers views of the entire plain and the foothills of the Fontaine les Dijon coastline...

The first part of the hike through open spaces is monotonous, but the second part along the river and ponds is very pleasant, with beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Thank you for this lovely hike, which is not recommended in hot, humid weather due to slippery sections.
We found it very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing!
We completed it in 2½ hours.
