Saussy walks

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!

This is another section (2) of the marked trail "Les Balcons du Suzon". It follows on from the first route starting from Messigny-et-Vantoux towards Sainte-Foy. Part of the route is through woods and hillsides with views of the Val Suzon. The walking time depends on the hiker. The time indicated was calculated based on half walking and half trail running. From the start in Sainte Foy: 1 hour 30 minutes. From Sainte Foy back via theGR®7: 30 minutes (jogging pace).

For an almost complete tour of the Suzon balconies, on the right bank, starting from the Maison Forestière du Roy Jeannot. An easy, not very long route with little elevation gain, allowing you to admire the most beautiful panoramas of this part of the Val Suzon.

A lovely trail that passes by an old 18th-century washhouse, a spring and a promontory fort that takes us back 6,000 years.

Walk in the listed Val-Suzon valley. The prehistoric Châtelet d'Étaules and its spur bear witness to the early occupation of these places by humans. This valley has long been a crossing point connecting the Seine valley and the Saône valley.

Quite a varied route with many beautiful viewpoints. Several rocky passages, one of the Côte d'Or's most beautiful valleys.

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.

Last section of the Suzon balconies. Route taken in the direction of the Route d'Étaules - Roche Tire-Barbe car park (there and back). Beautiful trail along the edge of the cliffs with views of the Val Suzon.

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.

Well-marked, fairly easy route (it is indicated on the hiking map (Dijon Ouest - Val Suzon - Sainte-Seine l'Abbaye - 3022ET). Beautiful views over the valley on a clear day. Itinerary initially structured in four parts (Les Balcons du Suzon, parts 1 to 4), with an outward and return section off the itinerary. ⚠️The complete trail is described here in its entirety, with no escape route.

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.

A beautiful hike in the superb Val-Suzon National Forest, where you can enjoy varied geology (valleys, viewpoints) and discover some curiosities (chasms, ruins) off the marked trails. Ideally, do this in mid-autumn to admire the colours of the forest, but preferably in dry weather.

A beautiful walk, mainly through woods, which is not difficult but is good for your heart thanks to the gentle slope. A beautiful valley to finish.

A beautiful, slightly challenging hike to discover a series of deep valleys, pretty views and beautiful springs: a change of scenery guaranteed just 10 km from Dijon.

A very easy hike on the outskirts of Dijon, between Vantoux and Hauteville.

Magnificent valley at Vau de roche. Cliffs, rock shelters, caves, headlands and views of the famous Creux Percé abyss.

In our region, there are many stone structures called cadoles, cabotes or cabiotes, which were once used as shelters by farmers. Winegrowers' huts are piles of stones gathered from fields, and a similar structure, murgers, refers to piles of stones left over from clearing fields. The proposed route allows you to discover some of these structures, which have been restored by a local association. You can find out more about their work and explanations on their website, with the participation of the "Sentiers" integration association. This is our small rural heritage. It is important to know about it (and to preserve it), as well as the customs of a bygone era, which have nevertheless shaped our landscapes. In the region, the terms "cadoles" and "cabotes" refer to the same type of construction, often found near vineyards. However, the term "cabiote" is used very locally in the Hauteville-les-Dijon area.

From Norges-la-Ville town hall, take the Norges observatory trail. Follow a boardwalk on stilts to Norges-le-Bas, then discover the old stone houses of the villages of Norges and Brétigny.
