Vauchignon walks

Hiking at the end of the world, a Jura retreat in the heart of the Côte d'Or! Majestic limestone cliffs gradually carved out by the Cozanne river.Route through undergrowth and along cliff edges (no real danger as long as you stay on the path).

Between undergrowth and along the cliffs, discover 2 archaeological sites with magnificent scenery in early autumn.

A beautiful hike from the Château de La Rochepot to Orches and back. Beautiful views make this a most enjoyable walk, and there are plenty of picnic tables along the way for well-deserved breaks.

A walk to discover the cliffs of St Romain and Orches. Beautiful panoramic view and, with a bit of luck, you'll spot peregrine falcons nesting on the cliffs.

A beautiful, slightly challenging hike, with magnificent views over prestigious villages and vineyards (Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet) and an extraordinary collection of cottages.

This is a whole end-to-end 8-day dog-friendly 80 Km trip along the Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) from Santenay up to the edge of Dijon. On the way, you walk through great countryside, vineyards, and villages, covering the whole of the Côte d’Or which consists of two halves, the Côte de Beaune in the South end and the Côte de Nuits at the north end. We've divided the route into eight comfortable walks designed to provide a linear end-to-end route, each starting and finishing in accessible towns or villages. The wines and associated villages and vineyards are some of the most famous in the world with an unprecedented number of Grand Cru and Premier Cru marques, such as Chassagne-Montrachet in the south and Gevrey-Chambertin in the North (even the names of the villages sound enticing!). You will see that some of the vineyards are tiny - hence the exclusivity! - and indeed often divided up historically between many owners.

This is stage 1 Santenay to Meursault of the Route des Grands Crus. This walk runs from Santenay through villages of Chassagne Montrachet and St Aubin to the charming small town of Meursault; moderate difficulty with a bit of climbing, dog friendly via countryside and vineyards. End to end, a train service enables return to start.

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.

This 2nd walk on the 8-walk Route des Grands Crus (RDGC) starts in the centre of the famous wine village of Meursault and joins the RDGC proper on the west edge of the village or a fraction further on near Auxey-Duresses. It continues through the charming village of Auxey-Duresses itself and runs through wonderful countryside and vineyards and although there is one steep climb, this provides great views of the valley villages below, before eventually reaching the wine village of Pommard. The walk is dog friendly. This is stage 2 of the Route des Grands Crus.

A family-friendly, educational route that takes you to superb panoramic views on both sides of the ridge.

This stage 3 in the overall Route des Grands Crus Burgundy series. This dog friendly walk runs from Pommard centre up into the hills through vineyards and woods and then finishes down in the outskirts of Beaune in the delightful Park de la Bouzaise. There is an option for an easy circular return if needed.

A very pleasant route, mostly through woodland, marked in yellow. Lacanche is a former working-class town, built around the SIL factory (bought by Seb in 2024-2025). You can stroll through the streets to discover this unique architecture and perhaps visit the church (key available at the Town Hall).

Coming from Fontaine or Chagny, enter Rully, follow the signs to Agneux, go through the hamlet and up the narrow road to the pass; you're on the site of the caves, park at the pass exit near the lagoon. This is where the hike begins.

This beautiful walk will not only take you through beautiful countryside, but will also take you on a journey through time, from the Order of Malta to the 2nd World War.The highlight is the Templar church in Echarnant, built in the 12th century and located on the road to Compostela, which is why the Templars settled here.

A beautiful walk above the village of Rully in Burgundy, through vineyards, oak and boxwoods.

Discover Mercurey's surroundings: the vineyards, of course, but also the different viewpoints over the village and the beautiful 12th-century churches.
