Torcy (Saône-et-Loire) walks

This is the third section of the southern Burgundy crossing, which is part of the VIA Burgundia. From the confluence of the Yonne and Seine rivers in Montereau-Fault-Yonne, it crosses the whole of Burgundy to reach Macon. It is also the Eternal Burgundy trail, where history blends with heritage to reveal the region's beautiful natural surroundings.

During this hike, you will leave from the entrance to Saint-Laurent d'Andenay and head to the village of Écuisses along the RCEA (Route Centre Europe Atlantique), then cross Écuisses les Sept-Écluses via the greenway along the Canal du Centre. In Écuisses, you have the option of visiting the Canal Museum and Villa Perrusson. Then, still following the greenway, you will reach the Jeanne Rose bridge and your starting point via the D18.

Saint-Laurent d'Andenay, a small village near Montchanin, is crossed by the Paris-Marseille TGV line. During this walk, you can take a picnic break on the banks of the pond, where tables are available.

This hike is part of the Grande Traversée de la Bourgogne du Sud (Great Crossing of Southern Burgundy) route, which, together with the Grande Traversée de l'Yonne and the Grande Traversée du Morvan, make up the Via Burgundia. This long route, which runs from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Macon, allows you to discover the Eternal Burgundy and stretches for almost 500 km. You can find out more on the website.

An easy, pleasant walk near the Etang de la Sorme. Beautiful scenery and little change in altitude.A few stretches on tarmac, but not very busy.

The route offers several views of Marmagne, Saint-Symphorien and the Mesvrin valley, with a long stretch through the woods and a section over the Mesvrin.

Discover a small area of Burgundy nestled between the Vallée des Vaux and the Vallée de la Dheune. A succession of narrow paths connect these remote and charming hamlets, which seem to be "supplied by crows".

A walk through meadows and woods, with some beautiful views.

Lovely walk along the water's edge and through the forest on easy paths.

A peaceful walk where Mont Rome seems to play hide and seek with hikers. The paths run alongside small streams and the few tarmac sections do not spoil the enjoyment. There is only one small climb, just to keep you in shape.

Hikers will enjoy discovering this "Mer de Pierre" (Sea of Stone) in the middle of the woods, recognised by specialists as a geological curiosity. Gaining altitude in its first section, the walk offers wide views of the Guye Valley to the east and the Baudots area to the north. Very shaded, the route then offers a few glimpses of the Charollais Mountains. See practical information.

A walk in the countryside of Genouilly, a small rural village in the Guye valley, between the limestone hillsides where vines grow and the granite forest chaos. Rivers, hedges and copses punctuate this hike, which follows paths and small roads.

A short walk through meadows and vineyards, taking in the village of Saint-Martin-du-Tartre and its beautiful views.

The route proposed here has several objectives, including encouraging walkers to discover short and long-distance hiking trails by following the markings.

An ascent of two mounts, Mont de Rome Château (514m) and Mont Rême (546m), giving you a good panoramic view of the Cossane valley, which joins the Dheune.
