Morey-Saint-Denis walks

A lovely little walk alternating between valleys, plateaus, views and vineyards.

Beautiful hike starting from the village of Chambolle. This trail allows you to (re)discover the Château d'Entre Deux Monts, the Château du Clos Vougeot, and the natural heritage of the Chambolle Musigny and Orveau valleys.

Hiking, almost entirely in the forest, is very pleasant in summer. Beautiful views of the vineyards. In the centre of the village, there is a church and a magnificent lime tree.

Burgundy's vineyards are an integral part of the region's history. The most famous of these is undoubtedly Clos Vougeot. I suggest a short walk on the heights of the vineyard, starting from Chambolle-Musigny.

This hike follows parts of the route of the old Tacot de Gevrey to Beaune, which passed through Curley. It also takes you through mysterious valleys: the Combe Grisard and the Combe de Creuse. There are also beautiful views of the cliffs of the Combe Lavau.

Very nice walk with two aspects, the ascent through deciduous woods and the descent through a rocky area with a view of the Gevrey Chambertin vineyards.Quite a steep climb, with some tricky steps on the way down.Make sure you wear appropiate clothes.

This is stage 8, the final walk in the Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) series, starting in the world famous Grand Cru Burgundy wine town of Gevrey-Chambertin, ending on the outskirts of Dijon. It begins at Gevrey church, taking you past the Chateau up through woods to the delightful Parc Noisot and past Clos Napoleon vineyard and restaurant to the charming villages of Fixey, Couchey and Marsannay before passing the last major vineyard of the Cote d'Or to the outskirts of Dijon at Genove. It is dog friendly and a reasonably easy walk after a climb at the start. The Yellow Red (YR) lines to indicate the RDGC make for good navigation.

This short hike takes you through a wide variety of landscapes and offers superb views of the Burgundy vineyards. For wine lovers, it runs alongside the prestigious Romanée Conti vineyard.

Discover two magnificent valleys with splendid panoramic views. Some very tricky sections, especially on the descents, which involve some climbing. You can avoid these difficulties, but this will mean missing out on some thrilling experiences and beautiful views of the valleys. Take a look at the photos to get an idea of the difficulties before setting off on this hike. Nothing is insurmountable, but it's better to be warned.

This trail will take you to the 100 steps of Brochon and its valley and springs, and then the 100 steps of Fixin and its valley.

A very pleasant walk in good weather, following in the footsteps of the historic past of the Vergy hill, through existing buildings and the remains of ancient monuments.

This a short pleasant walk, mostly in the shady forest with just a modest amount of climbing. There is a fascinating historic connection in that one of Napoleon’s grenadier guards, Noisot, created in his own name the Parc Noisot and the associated walks, waymarked with symbols of Napoleons’ Russian, Egyptian and Italian military campaigns. This guide is for the longer but most fulfilling route – the Russian route. About halfway along is a staircase of 100 steps marking the number of days Napoleon took to regain power after release from first captivity. The walk is also of geological interest, being part of the Combe de Fixin. The meaning of Combe is a narrow gorge, ravine or small valley often containing a mixture of limestone, cliff faces, and forestry, leading to a plateau, but with no significant water course, with similarity to the Combes in England such as Ilfracombe. The excellent Tourist Office in the nearby and famous Gevry Chambertin can tell you more.

Stroll around the ruins of the region's most powerful fortified castle. Visit the ruins of the Abbey of Saint-Vivant and explore the Abîme de Bévy.

There are a number of interesting places to visit, including the 100 Fixin steps ('Cent Marches des Fixin') and the top of the Combe Lavaux ridges.

Pass through the Cent Marches de Fixin (100 steps), then head for the top of the Combe de Fixey on the south side, then on the north side to descend through the vineyards.

Some pleasant stopping points, including the Cents Marches de Fixin, the Chamerey Rent with views of Chamboeuf, and the Col de la Toppe.

This hike offers beautiful views of three valleys: the Côtes de Nuits, the valley at the foot of the Reulle-Vergy spur and the valley on the Détain-Gergueil forest side. Also on the programme are the pretty, traditional villages of Corboin and Concoeur, then Segrois. Not to mention the Abbey of Saint-Vivant, which is currently being renovated.

Depart from Fixin towards Chamerey then Ecotois, return via Chamerey then Fixey. A mainly forest route.

From hills to valleys, climb to new heights! Hautes-Côtes and Côte de Nuits... Gevrey-Chambertin... Great names that evoke famous vineyards and their Grands Crus... and a varied and little-known natural heritage! A generous environment where rich and diverse flora and fauna thrive.

This hike takes you across the limestone grasslands of Nuits-Saint-Georges, then along a very pleasant woodland path before arriving at the hamlet of Corboin and then Concœur. On the way back, the path overlooks the important vineyards of Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges.

You can discover the superb Combe Durey from the inside, as well as countless varieties of mushrooms.

This is stage 7 in the series of Route des Grands Crus walks runs from Nuits-St-Georges through the vineyards and woods and combes to Gevrey-Chambertin. Both of these small towns are host to some of the most famous red wines in the world as are some of the charming villages and landmarks in between like Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Chateau de Vougeot. It is a dog friendly walk (there is a good veterinary surgery in Nuits). It is a fairly long and reasonably challenging walk as there are some climbs in the middle leading off the vineyards into the woods. Return by bus and train is possible to the start.

Discover the caves and cavities in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Combe Pernand and its still-active quarry.

30 km from Dijon, on the heights of the Côte Nuitonne, take a walk in the Val de Vergy, a historic site in Burgundy and stronghold of the "valiant" Vergy family, a prestigious family deeply rooted in past and present memories. Étang Vergy, Abbaye Saint Vivant, Curtil-Vergy and Bévy are all on our route.

Starting from the Couchey orientation table, a route above the Vaulon, Pévenelle and Semetrot valleys. Particularly recommended in summer when it is hot. This route is in the middle of the forest with views over the entire Dijon plain and Mont Blanc, weather permitting.

Winter hike with limited risk of mud and hunting, but to be avoided in case of flooding due to the Sans Fond river. This hike will allow you to see the castle of Saulon-la-Rue, the church of Saulon-la-Chapelle with its two turrets, and to walk along part of the river "La Sans Fond" with the mill of Saulon-la-Chapelle. Due to private property issues, a change to the route is currently being considered.

This is an easy hike in open terrain with beautiful views of the Hautes-Côtes. It is an ideal walk for a half-day in autumn (the vineyards are magnificent) or winter (the terrain is very passable).

A short circular loop around the River Sans Fond, which winds through fields and the Izeure State Forest. The Sansfondis 16.3 km long, rising at Perrigny-les-Dijon at an altitude of 230 m and flowing into the Vouge at the Abbey of Cîteaux within the municipality of Saint-Nicolas-lès-Cîteaux at an altitude of 193 m.

Discover the Rentes de Chamerey, Écotois and Leuzeu farms starting from Flavignerot. A short and different variation on the Rentes route. A completely shaded route with smooth trails and relatively gentle slopes will allow for easy progress that is accessible to most people.

The classic trail for a tour of Mont Afrique via the rampart walk. With little elevation gain, beautiful panoramic views and several military structures from the Séré-de-Rivières line, this is an ideal hike for training or getting back into the swing of things!

This unpretentious hike allows you to discover other aspects of the Nuits-Saint-Georges region, combining the unmissable Trou du Duc with more classic sections. A hike to do for a change of scenery when you've already done all the others and want something different!

A lovely hike around the Combe du Leuzeu, a hotspot of the Resistance in Côte d'Or. A battle between the Resistance fighters and the Vichy militia saw the former emerge victorious in July 1944.

This day-long hike allows you to discover the vineyards that will eventually make up the Dijon appellation. You will regularly enjoy beautiful views of the plain or Dijon, but also more mysterious passages in the undergrowth and at the bottom of the valley. It is a varied route rich in heritage, on terrain that can be very different at times.

A signposted trail along the entire route takes in the rich landscapes of the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, as well as the village of Villers-la-Faye.

Discover the curiosities of the Cîteaux Forest, the large woods, forest roads, ponds and numerous streams that drain it. This hike is almost flat but gives a good idea of the large forest, with its magnificent high forests, drainage ditches and wide open views from some of the forest roads.
