Departure from Orgeux (Côte-d'Or)
Does the village of Orgeux owe its name to ancient barley fields (Hordeu)? The Church of the Assumption dates back to the 13th century and features beautiful stained-glass windows in the choir. In the cemetery, there is a 17th-century calvary with a stone plaque. Adjacent to a small stone bridge, the wash house is built straddling a stream. A needle weir on the Norges slows the flow of the water just a stone’s throw away. A Roman road once crossed the area and, in 1967, a hoard of Gallo-Roman coins was unearthed in a sand pit.

Dijon is a remarkable city because it has been preserved by its history. Since its Gallo-Roman origins (3rd century), three major periods have shaped this city: the Middle Ages, with its churches, then the Valois, the great dukes of Burgundy; the Renaissance, reflected in the splendour of the parliamentarians' mansions; and Art Nouveau, with its inventive decorations. The aim of this discovery trail is to take you through these different periods.
