The starting point is located at the car park of the cemetery in Lusigny-sur-Ouche.
(S/E) Take the small tarmac road of the Vieille Église, following the signs for "Notre-Dame de Presles". Head towards the clearly visible church and walk past it.
(1) Immediately, take the path on the left that runs alongside the road from Beaune to Bligny-sur-Ouche.
(2) Join the D970 and continue to the entrance to Bligny-sur-Ouche.
(3) When you arrive in Bligny, stay on the pavement. Just before Rue Fricot, take the path on the left between two houses, cross the bridge over the Ouche and climb up to the road (Chemin des Sources).
(4) At the crossroads, you will see a sign for Chemin de Champleau (Voichey) and a fountain. Turn left onto the path and continue to the hamlet of Voichey via Chemin des Sources.
(5) In the village, turn left and go up Rue Ker Cosette. At the three-way junction (elevation 474), continue right on the plateau, then turn left at the first crossroads and descend towards Lusigny-sur-Ouche.
(6) Enter Lusigny, turn right and then right again onto the road towards Écutigny. After 100 metres, leave this road on your right and turn left onto a path that climbs uphill. Follow this path and pass in front of the water towers. Join the D17.
(7) Cross it and follow the path directly opposite that climbs up the hillside, then continue and cross the D17 again.
(8) At the crossroads, opposite the road to Grandmont, take the path directly on your left. A sign indicates the direction of the Grotte du Maquis.
(9) After about 500 metres, take the second path on your right (between the column and the mill) towards Montceau and Écharnant.
(10) When you enter the village, at the junction with Rue du Gué, turn left and continue along this street until the next intersection, where you turn left and stay on the left until you reach the forest of Montceau-et-Écharnant.
(11) Take the first white road on the left in the forest, cross the Montceau road at Écharnant and continue straight ahead towards the Grotte du Maquis.
(12) The Grotte du Maquis is a site dedicated to the memory of ten young resistance fighters who were killed on 30 March 1944 after being denounced. After stopping at the cave, go down into the valley and turn left towards the Ermitage.
(13) Opposite the ruins of the Hermitage, descend for a round trip to the Source de l'Ouche.
(14) This is one of the main sources of the Ouche. Walk back up the path.
(13) On your return, turn left to reach the Oratory a few metres further on.
(15) The Oratory is a small chapel surrounded by nature, dedicated to Notre-Dame de Presles, built in 1936 with stones from the old hermitage. Continue along this path to the car park (S/E).
