Source-Seine walks
The sources of the Seine and their surroundings
A bucolic stroll to the sources of the Seine, passing by a pond designed by a contemporary Swiss artist and the ruins of a former 12th-century hermitage.
Sources of the Seine and the Ignon
A lovely hike in the Alésia region that will take you from spring to spring.
Moderator's note , the source of the Ignon, is inaccessible; see reviews.
Medieval site of Bois de Cestres
This route takes in the small Côte d'Orienne commune of Saint-Martin-du-Mont, the natural site of the Ru Blanc and the remains of a medieval village dating back to the 14th century.
Route from the Douix Cave to Darcey
This route has been redeveloped and made safer. It allows you to bypass the Douix river and walk through a pleasant boxwood forest before reaching the village of Darcey and then the cave. It is not listed on IGN maps, which is why I used the Visorando app to track my route and highlight it.
The terrain south of Lamargelle
A circular route around Lamargelle, to discover this beautiful village on the banks of the Ignon, the Combe Saint-Seine and the sweeping landscapes of this secluded valley. This route showcases the village, set in the beautiful valley of the Ignon with its mills, wash houses and castle. It also takes you through the valleys linked to the golden legend of Saint-Seine, who founded the abbey of the same name, and whose abbots owned Lamargelle Castle.
Circular wind turbine loop starting from Trouhaut
This route, starting from Trouhaut, climbs up Mont Tasselot and continues to La Rochotte, passing at the foot of several wind turbines. It then returns towards Fromenteau, passing close to another group of wind turbines, before descending back to Trouhaut.
N.B. It is also possible to do the wind turbine route without going via Trouhaut, for example by starting from Fromenteau.
From Flavigny to the Château de Bussy-Rabutin
From the village of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, a magnificent medieval village, head for a picnic at the Château de Bussy-Rabutin, which you will enjoy visiting. Then return via Alise-Sainte-Reine, a key site of the Gallic Wars, and pay a visit to Vercingétorix.
Circular loop starting from Bussy-La-Pesle
A lush walk through fields and woods, starting from Bussy-La-Pesle, which winds its way through the outskirts of Blaisy-Bas and on to Drée, a pleasant village in fine weather with its stream and old houses built from stones from the former castle.
Ru Blanc circular loop
Hike starting from the picnic area, allowing you to climb up the pleasant Ru Blanc site. Pass by the Gaillard well and the ruins of the medieval settlement before descending the Combe d'Été to rejoin the old cart track.
Circular route through the Val Suzon via Pasques and the area around Panges.
A walk in the Val Suzon which, for a while following an old railway line, takes us from caves to chasms in the vicinity of Pasques and Panges, through woods and fields.
Val Suzon: from springs to caves
From the tufa-strewn torrent of the Rui Blanc, which cascades down to the Suzon via the steep heights of the Val Suzon, the route takes you through remote corners of the world, perched caves and climbing sections, through boxwood groves and along the edges of plateaus, before revealing a karstic cave – a geological curiosity unique to this region.
Abandoned dwellings from Cestres to Ru Blanc, passing by wash houses.
A pleasant, idyllic walk starting from Val Suzon, offering the chance to visit the archaeological site of Cestres – now abandoned dwellings – including the Puits Gaillard. It then takes us from one wash house to another between Cestres, Froideville and Les Bordes Bricard before heading back down theGR®®2to reach the Ru Blanc resurgence.
Vitteaux and Camp Miard
This walk allows you to explore Vitteaux, where several buildings date back to medieval times, as well as Camp Miard (spelled ‘Myard’ on local signs) with its 6,000-year-old remains.
Posanges Castle is also well worth a visit.
The Dogwood Trail
This path crosses the Channel-Mediterranean ridgeline via the "mountain", into which the 4km Blaizy tunnel is bored.
Along the way, discover the XV ventilation shaft, the panorama of the Ouche valley and the Baulme la Roche cliff.
The Cornel Trail and the cliffs of Baulme-la-Roche
A beautiful route with varied scenery, passing through picturesque villages. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the Ouche valley and the village of Baulme-la-Roche, situated below the cliff, during the final part of the walk.
Carpe and mammoths on the Pasques plateau
Discover several major attractions – Combe aux Mammouths, Saut à la Carpe and Creux Percé – from the village of Pasques. Not too much elevation gain and long stretches through the forest to shelter from the sun or wind.
The route to the Pasques sites
An unusual and pleasant forest walk, made easier by the local council and residents of Pasques, leading to the Abîme du Creux Percé and the Poste du Président, as well as to the discovery of a few abandoned dwellings scattered here and there; places sometimes steeped in history dating from the Early Middle Ages or the 11th to 14th centuries.
