Tour du Mont Afrique via the rampart walk

At the end of the straight stretch of the M108h, easy parking on the left, at the foot of the large radio towers.

(S/E) Go to the end of the plateau and turn right onto the rampart walk, a wide white gravel path, starting with a nice view of the Étang hill opposite. Continue to the first path coming from the bottom of the valley on the left: this is the start of the Sentier des Croix Blanches (a crazy slope, easy to understand when you take a closer look).

(1) Continue along the flat white path. Pass in front of the fenced military enclosure and continue along the path, which offers several viewpoints from which to admire the Ouche valley. Continue until you reach a military structure below the path, the Roche Chainières battery.

(2) From there, the path on the north side is narrower but still easy to walk on. Leave the lines on either side and continue. The path turns right into a large forest clearing and joins the Yellow trail from Grand Dijon, from Naizou to Mont Afrique.

(3) Continue straight ahead on this shared route with the yellow markings, pass above the Corcelles orientation table, then descend a little before climbing back up to a large intersection just after leaving a^first path that descends to the left into the valley.

(4) Take the^second path on the left (PR®) to continue along the edge of the plateau: on the straight stretch, there are a few views of the village of Corcelles. The trail then turns right into the woods to join the M108h.

(5) Stay on the road for 100 metres and take the path opposite, slightly below, still following the yellow markings. Continue through the woods until you reach a new military structure, a caponier, on the left (Camp Romain battery). This caponier, formerly equipped with a cannon, was used to monitor the plain and offers a wide view.

(6) Continue along the rampart walk, following the yellow markings. At the end, before a sharp right-hand bend, climb a few metres up the path on the left andenjoy the magnificent view over the large cracked limestone rocks.

(7) Retrace your steps and rejoin the path. At the next bend, stay on top of the plateau and head towards a large intersection in the undergrowth.

(8) Leave the yellow-marked trail descending to the left towards Flavignerot and stay on the plateau. Continue straight ahead on this small forest trail with a new panorama on the left at the level of the rocks. Continue to a new military structure, slightly below on the left, the Flavignerot battery.

(9) From there, take the stone path and return to the car park under the radio towers (S/E).

(S/E) Easy parking at the foot of the large radio relay tower.

Numerous military structures from the Seré de Rivières line, built to protect Dijon after the 1870 war.
