The Chemins d'Auxois Association offers you its first circuit created using paths that have been reopened by the association. This beautiful walk has been designed to make the most of the footpaths, dirt tracks and white roads that will allow you to walk far away from cars. Come and discover trails you've never walked before! Our tours are unique and do not follow existing signposts. They are also suitable for mountain bikes and horses.

Located in the heart of Burgundy, halfway between Pouilly en Auxois and Saulieu, on the edge of the Morvan and Auxois regions, Mont Saint-Jean is a medieval village whose castle stands 490 m high on a rocky outcrop, overlooking a wide valley through which the Doran and Serein rivers flow. Its highest point rises to 578 metres (Croix Thomas).

This short loop marked out in Blue is part of the Auxois lakes routes marked out in Green-Yellow, covering some 200 kilometres.These walking routes are maintained and marked by the 5 markers of the Rando-Gym-Civry association, affiliated to CDRP21.This half-day walk will enable you to discover the pretty medieval village of Mont-Saint-Jean and, from the heights, the beautiful views over the Auxois to the east and the Morvan to the south and west.

This half-day hike will take you from the valleys to the plateaus of the Auxois in a bucolic setting.

This hike can be combined with a sound and light show organised by the "Montréal en lumière" association. It can be reached on foot via the Fontenay-Vézelay path. By car, take the N6 and D957. From the A6 motorway, take the Avallon exit. Montréal is 7km from the exit.

A short walk from the Abbaye de la Pierre-qui-Vire, which first follows theGRP® Tour du Morvan, passes through the village of Trinquelin and then follows the Trinquelin valley. The abbey is located in the territory of Saint-Léger-Vauban, but can also be reached from Saint-Agnan.

Walk through the forest, part of which runs alongside the River Trinquelin and moorland. Halfway along the route, you will pass the Abbaye de la Pierre-qui-Vire.

With a surface area of 140ha, Lac de Saint-Agnan is a popular spot for fishing and family picnics. The tour of the lake is an easy stroll that offers a variety of views over the lake. It also offers the chance to discover a peat bog on a specially prepared path.

A beautiful half-day hike in the hills of Auxois with views stretching far into the distance on a clear day.

A predominantly forested route that starts along the charming river Le Vignan and quickly reaches the Dolmen Chevresse. The route then leads into the Forêt de Breuil-Chenue, where firs and beeches are more common than the oaks that once gave the uplands their name.

Fairly simple walk, mainly on gravel paths. The third kilometre climbs reasonably, but it is in the forest in the shade. On the plateau the path undulates between the fields. After the Chapelle Sainte-Anne, you leave the plateau via a reasonably steep little asphalt road to reach Ravières again.

A getaway to a natural environment, with superb gardens planted in this vegetal and mineral setting. The rocks are there, the islands are in name only, but at times it seems as if we're a long way from the urbanised world.

The commune of Dun-les-Places owes its name to the existence, in Celtic times, of an oppidum, a sort of stronghold built into the natural landscape and protected by two lines of defence. This hike takes in the site of this oppidum. Along the way, you'll pass through a typical Morvan landscape of meadows, ponds and deciduous and coniferous woods.

The Gouloux waterfall is a famous tourist site in the Morvan. This walk offers a challenging approach to the site, with a mostly forested route including a few changes in altitude.

Magnificent walk around Lac des Settons with an almost constant view of the lake. Well-marked trail with plenty of shade along the way. Very little tarmac and guaranteed peace and quiet!
