Poncey-sur-l'Ignon walks
Sources of the Seine and the Ignon
A lovely hike in the Alésia region that will take you from spring to spring.
Moderator's note , the source of the Ignon, is inaccessible; see reviews.
The sources of the Seine and their surroundings
A bucolic stroll to the sources of the Seine, passing by a pond designed by a contemporary Swiss artist and the ruins of a former 12th-century hermitage.
The terrain south of Lamargelle
A circular route around Lamargelle, to discover this beautiful village on the banks of the Ignon, the Combe Saint-Seine and the sweeping landscapes of this secluded valley. This route showcases the village, set in the beautiful valley of the Ignon with its mills, wash houses and castle. It also takes you through the valleys linked to the golden legend of Saint-Seine, who founded the abbey of the same name, and whose abbots owned Lamargelle Castle.
Medieval site of Bois de Cestres
This route takes in the small Côte d'Orienne commune of Saint-Martin-du-Mont, the natural site of the Ru Blanc and the remains of a medieval village dating back to the 14th century.
Around Curtil-Saint-Seine
A lovely walk from the entrance to the Gouffre de la Combe aux Prêtres, passing through the small village of Curtil-Saint-Seine and overlooking the Val Suzon valley.
Circular wind turbine loop starting from Trouhaut
This route, starting from Trouhaut, climbs up Mont Tasselot and continues to La Rochotte, passing at the foot of several wind turbines. It then returns towards Fromenteau, passing close to another group of wind turbines, before descending back to Trouhaut.
N.B. It is also possible to do the wind turbine route without going via Trouhaut, for example by starting from Fromenteau.
Ru Blanc circular loop
Hike starting from the picnic area, allowing you to climb up the pleasant Ru Blanc site. Pass by the Gaillard well and the ruins of the medieval settlement before descending the Combe d'Été to rejoin the old cart track.
Circular route through the Val Suzon via Pasques and the area around Panges.
A walk in the Val Suzon which, for a while following an old railway line, takes us from caves to chasms in the vicinity of Pasques and Panges, through woods and fields.
Val Suzon: from springs to caves
From the tufa-strewn torrent of the Rui Blanc, which cascades down to the Suzon via the steep heights of the Val Suzon, the route takes you through remote corners of the world, perched caves and climbing sections, through boxwood groves and along the edges of plateaus, before revealing a karstic cave – a geological curiosity unique to this region.
Abandoned dwellings from Cestres to Ru Blanc, passing by wash houses.
A pleasant, idyllic walk starting from Val Suzon, offering the chance to visit the archaeological site of Cestres – now abandoned dwellings – including the Puits Gaillard. It then takes us from one wash house to another between Cestres, Froideville and Les Bordes Bricard before heading back down theGR®®2to reach the Ru Blanc resurgence.
Hydraulic structures and sinkholes around Curtil-Saint-Seine
A testament to man’s ingenuity in constructing hydraulic works and his propensity to explore the depths.
The Cèlerons caves
Magnificent valley at Vau de roche. Cliffs, rock shelters, caves, headlands and views of the famous Creux Percé abyss.
Chasm and archaeology at Val-Suzon
A beautiful hike in the superb Val-Suzon National Forest, where you can enjoy varied geology (valleys, viewpoints) and discover some curiosities (chasms, ruins) off the marked trails.
Ideally, do this in mid-autumn to admire the colours of the forest, but preferably in dry weather.
Le Châtelet d'Étaules
Walk in the listed Val-Suzon valley.
The prehistoric Châtelet d'Étaules and its spur bear witness to the early occupation of these places by humans. This valley has long been a crossing point connecting the Seine valley and the Saône valley.
Route from the Douix Cave to Darcey
This route has been redeveloped and made safer. It allows you to bypass the Douix river and walk through a pleasant boxwood forest before reaching the village of Darcey and then the cave. It is not listed on IGN maps, which is why I used the Visorando app to track my route and highlight it.
Carpe and mammoths on the Pasques plateau
Discover several major attractions – Combe aux Mammouths, Saut à la Carpe and Creux Percé – from the village of Pasques. Not too much elevation gain and long stretches through the forest to shelter from the sun or wind.
The route to the Pasques sites
An unusual and pleasant forest walk, made easier by the local council and residents of Pasques, leading to the Abîme du Creux Percé and the Poste du Président, as well as to the discovery of a few abandoned dwellings scattered here and there; places sometimes steeped in history dating from the Early Middle Ages or the 11th to 14th centuries.
The Dogwood Trail
This path crosses the Channel-Mediterranean ridgeline via the "mountain", into which the 4km Blaizy tunnel is bored.
Along the way, discover the XV ventilation shaft, the panorama of the Ouche valley and the Baulme la Roche cliff.
Salives, medieval town
Salives, a must-see medieval village in Côte d'Or: its ramparts, its keep, the heraldic route recounting the medieval life of the village, and its wash house with the main source of the Tille river under the church. This route also takes in Barjon Castle and Saint-Frodulphe Chapel. A little further on, there is a mill with a water wheel that is still in working order. Also worth seeing in Le Meix are the wash house beneath the town hall and the château.
