Saint-Martin-du-Tartre walks

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

This 10km loop hike starts from Saint-Clément-sur-Guye, with the Carapone at its highest point (440m), and takes in the villages of Saint-Clément-sur-Guye (Romanesque church listed as a historic monument in 1927, a tower to the east of the church), Rains, commune of Joncy (pretty stone houses), Le Petit Ballay, its square tower, its 'Murgers' (piles of stones removed from the vines), before Corcelles (hamlet of Saint-Clément).

A hill walk with no major challenges, in an unspoilt setting with villages overlooked by Mont Bouzu. Changing views all along the way, including a wide shot of Mont Saint-Vincent and a visit to the Château de Pontus-de-Thyard.

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.

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.

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.

Discover Brancion, a small medieval village with a trip to "paradise".

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.

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.

An easy, pleasant walk near the Etang de la Sorme. Beautiful scenery and little change in altitude.A few stretches on tarmac, but not very busy.

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.

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

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

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

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