Saint-Victor-sur-Ouche walks

An easy walk through woods and open countryside in the footsteps of Henri Vincenot: cave, hamlets and the Castle of the Dukes of Burgundy in Châteauneuf.

Nice walk, starting from Barbirey-sur-Ouche, on both sides of the Gyronde valley, to the old Oizerolles farm and back via the Marigny hills.

White-marked route passing through 14 points of interest: evocative rocks, caves, excavations, springs, panoramic views, remains of dry stone buildings, etc.

The route winds its way through hills and valleys, linking two buildings that were the hub of village life until the early20th century. The Jaugey wash house (in the hamlet of Barbirey-sur-Ouche) is a crossroads for numerous trails: the Tour de Barbaricum, the Tour des cinq balcons sur la Gironde, links to the Tour des Roches de Veluze, the Tour de Marigny, and the Traversée des 5 vallées. The wood-fired oven at Grenant-lès-Sombernoon is lit on public holidays. .

The Gironde is a stream that flows into the Ouche at Barbirey-sur-Ouche (Côte-d'Or). Its raging waters have carved out a narrow valley where rocky cliffs alternate with green slopes. The trail starts at the Jaugey wash house, classified as a "remarkable monument", and climbs up to the Roche de s'Laye balcony. It then continues to the Roche de l'Eau balcony and the charming hamlet of La Montagne. It then returns to the Jaugey slope to climb up to its balcony before reaching La Table du Druide.
