A short walk around the Cocheron from Fleury-sur-Ouche

Park in the car park at the Fleurey-sur-Ouche cemetery.

(S/E) Turn left onto the D104L for just 100 m, towards Ancey, until you reach a pretty winegrower’s house at the junction with Rue du Colombier.

(1) At this junction, read the information sign, then head up Rue du Colombier to the right. Take in the sight of a few unusual houses, perfectly blended into their natural woodland surroundings. Walk up to the edge of the woodland on Cocheron Hill: there’s a pretty wayside cross here. Then keep to the left until you reach the track leading up from the Grapine neighbourhood towards the summit of Cocheron Hill.

(2) At the junction, take the track on the right, then follow the path uphill.

(3) At the junction, continue uphill to the top of the hill, where there is a water reservoir. Enjoy the view over Fleurey and Lantenay.

(4) From the reservoir, turn back to the start of a path that leads back down through the woods.

(3) Take this path on the left, which descends for about 200 metres until it joins a main track leading back up towards Lantenay.

(5) Follow this track to the right for just over 500 m until you reach the start of a signposted path which turns at a right angle to your right, heading towards Fleurey.

(6) Take this path on your right and follow it for about 2 km until you reach the Fleurey-sur-Ouche cemetery (S/E).

(1) Winegrower’s house on the corner of Rue du Colombier.

(4) The summit of Cocheron and its viewpoint.
