Saint-Didier walks

A beautiful and varied route through bocage, deciduous and coniferous forests, starting from La Roche-en-Brénil, allowing you to discover three beautiful granite rock formations steeped in mystery and legend.

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.

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.

Lake Chamboux is the newest lake in the Morvan, built in 1985. It covers an area of 75 hectares and a hamlet was submerged to create it. The complete tour is 8 km long and takes about 2½ hours on foot. For those who only have about an hour, the route can be shortened by using two bridges.

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.

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.

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.

Starting from the water source, this hike takes you to the highest point in the Yonne and the Rocher de la Pérouse, which offers a magnificent view of the Nièvre and the commune of Dun-les-Places.

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.

A delightful escape into the heart of nature, accompanied by the Cure. Magnificent and relaxing. The section along the Cure requires a bit of gymnastics on two occasions, but it is very accessible for anyone who walks regularly, so do not worry.

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.

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).

A hike through woods and fields that starts at Lac des Settons and leads to Gouloux, where you can visit a clog factory (booking required) before discovering the delightful Saut de Gouloux and La Cure waterfalls further on. Take the opportunity to admire the view over this turbulent river. Return via villages and close to one of the Morvan peat bogs, at a place called Morégnon.

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!

This trail leads around the Lac de Pont artificial reservoir. This dam was built in 1882 and brought up to standard at the end of 2018. Car park, camping, restaurant, beach and leisure facilities are all available. A footbridge and staircase provide access to the dam and the right bank path. Other modifications underway following the 2018 drought. This October 11, 2018: diving board and beach have been demolished and will be rebuilt. A floating footbridge is planned to serve the activity zones.

The first part of this route allows you to discover part of the commune of Ouroux-en-Morvan, passing through the hamlet of Le Plessis, then Savelot. The second part of the route takes you along the Chemin du Tacot, a single track road that ran from Corbigny to Seaulieu. You will pass the old Cœuzon station and the bridge-tunnel over the Chalaux river. You will also have the opportunity to see an almost identical full-size replica of the old Tacot locomotive. You will continue under arches covered in vegetation and finish by walking alongside the Étang d'Ouroux lake. In front of the village hall, you can also admire the blue carriage, which is unique in that it has the same metre gauge as the Tacot.

This circular allows you to see some of the region's mills that are no longer in operation, in the commune of Ouroux-en-Morvan. It will also allow you to discover some of the commune's hamlets.

The route is entirely through forest composed of deciduous and coniferous trees. There is a lovely viewpoint over the valley and the hamlets that make up the village of Blangey along the route.Be careful during the hunting season (September to February) when passing near hunting huts!
