Departure from Hauteville-lès-Dijon (Côte-d'Or)
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.

Departure from Daix (Côte-d'Or)
This route is a continuation of the route entitled ‘Les Cabiotes and winegrowers' huts of Hauteville-les-Dijon’. It allows you to discover other aspects of the heritage of this vast plateau. Firstly, the Fort d’Hauteville, which is being given a new lease of life thanks to the Association des Amis du Fort d’Hauteville and the municipality of Hauteville-les-Dijon. It is one of the last military forts to have remained in active service, alongside that of La Motte Giron above the Combe à la Serpent.
You’ll discover one of the few lavender fields in the Dijon area, and Darois Aerodrome. Further on, you’ll find the Orée du Bois campsite, followed by a remarkable 19th-century wash house. Then come the two beautiful springs: the Fontaine de la Trouvée and the Chênaux. On the way back, once you’ve returned to the plateau, you’ll be treated to a lovely view of the Dijon plain and, as you pass by, the beautifully restored Rogne spring.

The aim of this discovery trail is to take you through these different periods.
