Remigny (Saône-et-Loire) walks

This is a whole end-to-end 8-day dog-friendly 80 Km trip along the Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) from Santenay up to the edge of Dijon. On the way, you walk through great countryside, vineyards, and villages, covering the whole of the Côte d’Or which consists of two halves, the Côte de Beaune in the South end and the Côte de Nuits at the north end. We've divided the route into eight comfortable walks designed to provide a linear end-to-end route, each starting and finishing in accessible towns or villages. The wines and associated villages and vineyards are some of the most famous in the world with an unprecedented number of Grand Cru and Premier Cru marques, such as Chassagne-Montrachet in the south and Gevrey-Chambertin in the North (even the names of the villages sound enticing!). You will see that some of the vineyards are tiny - hence the exclusivity! - and indeed often divided up historically between many owners.

This is stage 1 Santenay to Meursault of the Route des Grands Crus. This walk runs from Santenay through villages of Chassagne Montrachet and St Aubin to the charming small town of Meursault; moderate difficulty with a bit of climbing, dog friendly via countryside and vineyards. End to end, a train service enables return to start.

A lovely walk with breathtaking views of the hillsides and hamlets amongst the vineyards, including the famous Maranges and other equally prestigious estates. It also takes you through a Neolithic site listed as a historic monument (Le Chasséen).

Tucked away at the top of a “mountainous” slope of the Canal du Centre, the Crête de Nantoux is the highlight of a short ride that feels like a long one, offering, along the way, some superb views of the Mont de Sène and its Dôme des Trois Croix.

A family-friendly, educational route that takes you to superb panoramic views on both sides of the ridge.
