After the village of Agneux (to the west of the village), park on the right just after the left-hand bend and before the hairpin bend to the right and the hiking signposts.
(S) Go down the road and take the street on the right just after the cross (if you go straight on, you will reach the small chapel) and turn right again onto the tarmac road. Follow this tarmac road until you cross another road just after passing a bridge. You are now on theGR®76. Turn right onto this road.
(1) Take the path that climbs to the left and runs along the wall of the medieval castle of Rully. Turn right when you reach the tarmac road and continue to the cross.
(2) Continue straight ahead following theGR®76and follow this road, which turns into a farm track and takes you under high-voltage power lines. Shortly afterwards, turn left at the end of the farm track and then right into the undergrowth (signposted at this point). Follow this path through the undergrowth and then between the vines to the Croix des Montelons.
(3) Take the leftmost road and immediately turn left, along a low wall and vineyards. Climb this path, which leads to an old mill, and follow it to the signpost.
(4) Continue straight ahead and make a round trip to the Virgin Mary statue for a beautiful view of Mercurey. On your return from the Virgin Mary statue, at the signpost, turn left, follow the direction "Place de Reu" and go down this road.
(5) At the well, which is a small house, take the road opposite the well and turn right. You will pass in front of Mercurey church. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead: you will then leave theGR® for aPR®. Follow this road which leads you to a pond, Rue du Pont Latin.
(6) At the crossroads (feel free to admire the wash house on your left if you wish), go straight ahead. Please note: on the map, it is marked asa PR® trail, but on a post at the crossroads, a cross indicates the opposite. Go up this road, which turns into a vineyard path and leads you through the vineyards.
(7) Take the cement path on the right (which, in my opinion, serves as a drainage channel during heavy rain). Continue along this main path, which turns right at the edge of the forest. At the memorial stone, continue to the left. Continue along this path through the woods until you reach the Croix de Bosebut crossroads.
(8) Take the tarmac road on the left and follow it to the next crossroads.
(9) To reach Aubigny (a village purchased to create a hotel project that is currently on hold), take the path to the right of the large gate and then follow the footpath that goes around the property development. Turn right and follow this path, which takes you past the Aubigny organic farm.
(10) At the end of the farm track, take the path through the undergrowth opposite you, then turn right at the next junction. Do the same at the next two junctions and follow the forest path. At the fork at the end of the woods, go straight ahead on the farm track until you reach the tarmac road that serves as theGRP®.
(11) Turn right onto the tarmac road, then take the path on the left after the low stone wall. At the oak tree, continue straight ahead (do not go downhill) and turn right onto the first path (markedGR® Red and White). Follow this path, which will take you to the Grottes d'Agneux caves. After the second cave, a path leads you down to the bottom of the cliff.
(12) Turn left at the crossroads in the undergrowth (signpost torn down when I passed and lying on the ground) and follow this path. At the bottom of the path, turn right to return to your vehicle.
