The Tertre Trail in Selongey

Start from the car park, Rue Henri Jevain, Place Frédéric Lescure, opposite the hall of the same name.

Turn right, then left onto the D3 until the fork at the statue of the Virgin Mary, about fifty metres further on.

(1) Turn right at the statue of the Virgin Mary onto Rue de la Charme and continue straight on at the first two junctions until you reach a triangular junction with a central island featuring trees.

The hiking route is set in the heart of the countryside. Always be careful, prepared and respectful of the environment.

Saint-Rémy Church in Foncegrive, rebuilt in the early 18th century on the site of the original. It is inspired by the Romanesque style; its square bell tower, covered in slate, is topped by a spire.

The SEB factory, founded in 1857 by Antoine Lescure, has made Selongey the home of the pressure cooker since 1953. A factory outlet is open in the town of Selongey.
