Saulx-le-Duc walks

A short, easy and very pleasant hike leading to the Butte Saint-Siméon in Saulx-le-Duc, the highest point offering a beautiful view of the Ignon valley. No technical difficulty, but the climb to the Butte Saint-Siméon is steady.

Le Creux Bleu is the resurgence (kastic massif) of the Francheville stream, which disappears a few kilometres upstream and is located 20 metres from the Ignon river in the centre of the village.

A short and easy hike to discover the valleys around Saussy, including the very wild Combe Quinquendolle, a nature reserve. This hike only uses public paths and forests!

Circular route around and through Gemeaux to discover this picturesque little village in the Côte d'Or, rich in architectural heritage: its market halls, medieval house, church, castle, fountain and wash house.

Salives, a must-see medieval village in Côte d'Or: its ramparts, its keep, the heraldic route recounting the medieval life of the village, and its wash house with the main source of the Tille river under the church. This route also takes in Barjon Castle and Saint-Frodulphe Chapel. A little further on, there is a mill with a water wheel that is still in working order. Also worth seeing in Le Meix are the wash house beneath the town hall and the château.

This circular will take you to the Source du Bué with its curious legend. You can also explore the village, its chapel and its equally anecdotal history, the Templar house, the manor house and the fortified church. In May and June, you can see wild orchids in bloom.

Explore the Messigny Forest to Sainte-Anne. Return via the BMX site to the village. A route with very little elevation gain. This hike through the forest is very pleasant in the summer, with lily of the valley in May and orchids and foxgloves in June.
