Departure from Sassangy (Saône-et-Loire)
A pleasant walk with a very varied landscape (meadows, streams, limestone plateaus, vineyards). You’ll follow the Guye river towards Cersot, with a short climb towards Montagny-lès-Buxy and a return via Mont Brogny after passing through the village of Bissey-sous-Cruchaud. Best done between September and May to avoid the intense heat, as there is very little shade. It’s possible to do it with a head torch in summer, which is very pleasant.
