This walk, with its slight incline, is ideal for stretching your legs if you've got a couple of hours to spare.

A lovely loop on the first slopes of the Jura massif, above the Bresse plain (Revermont). A largely forested route, with viewpoints and panoramas, typical villages, monuments and heritage sites.

A pleasant walk offering beautiful landscapes and viewpoints, between forest and meadows bordered by low dry-stone walls. The steepness is very gradual on the first part of the walk, allowing you to reach the summit of Mont Saint-Romain without any particular difficulty. On the return journey, the slopes are steeper, but never unmanageable. A perfect walk for those who want a good outing but don't want to put too much strain on their legs.

This walk starts in the medieval town of Saint-Gengoux-le-National, continues to Culle-les-Roches, a village below a cliff with a cave, and returns via a lost viaduct in the forest.

Short version of the long loop from La Grange du Bois (proposed on this site), done with children aged 7 to 12, who really enjoyed it!

A lovely route along the paths of sunny Burgundy. Leaving Chaintré, we reach the crests of the mountains, with beautiful views of the Bois de Fée, Mont de Pouilly and La Grange du Bois. Along the way, we come across several fine castles: Château des Rontés, Château de Chasselas, Château de Leynes, Château de Lavérnette.

A hike along the balconies in the south of Burgundy through the vineyards.

A delightful stroll through boxwood and vineyards, with the added bonus of a splendid panoramic view from the top of the famous Roche de Solutré.The return journey, via the north, takes you off the official route and away from the tourist traffic.

Wonderful hike in Burgundy to discover "Solutré" (a landmark) and the "Rock of Vergisson”.

A peaceful crossing of the Plateau de Saint-Désert in the vicinity of Mont Avril and Mont Brogny. In the distance, the perched hamlet of Cruchaud stands guard to the South, before the route offers an escape to the Plaine de Saône.

A stroll along old stones, vineyards and footpaths. The journey is much like a pilgrimage in this part of the Saône-et-Loire region, with many religious ornaments.

A short walk through meadows and vineyards, taking in the village of Saint-Martin-du-Tartre and its beautiful views.

Continuing to discover the Saône-et-Loire region through this wine-growing village and its many small wash-houses. The trail ends at Mont Avril, with its panoramic view over the whole valley. I advise you to do this trail in autumn to get the most out of it.

For this hike, I had fun making this trail around the crosses and other statues in the Vallée des Vaux. Useful for discovering the beauty of the landscape.

Discover Mercurey's surroundings: the vineyards, of course, but also the different viewpoints over the village and the beautiful 12th-century churches.

A beautiful walk above the village of Rully in Burgundy, through vineyards, oak and boxwoods.

Coming from Fontaine or Chagny, enter Rully, follow the signs to Agneux, go through the hamlet and up the narrow road to the pass; you're on the site of the caves, park at the pass exit near the lagoon. This is where the hike begins.

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

The three châteaux in Quincié-en-Beaujolais are well worth a visit. What's more, you'll pass through a highly varied landscape of vineyards, forests and meadows. The three châteaux trail is very well signposted and offers 4 variants of varying lengths.
