A very beautiful walk, especially in October when the vineyards are ablaze with colour, in the Hautes-Côtes between vineyards and woods in a hilly landscape, with pretty views, particularly above Pernand-Vergelesses. The hike is fairly easy, on good paths, despite a few short but steeper slopes. You can picnic in the wash house at Villers-la-Faye, which has been converted for hikers.

This is stage 5 of the Route des Grands Crus and it runs from Pernand-Vergelesses round the woods and vineyards along to Magny-lès-Villers and Villers-la-Faye villages and round the quarry and down into Prémeaux-Prissey. .It is dog friendly and through both vineyards and countryside.

Discover a multi-faceted trail. A flat start along a stream, followed by the cliffs and the Trou du Duc. Pass through the forest and discover 2 historic sites: the Gallo-Roman site and the Monument du Maquis. Return through the vineyards.

This unpretentious hike allows you to discover other aspects of the Nuits-Saint-Georges region, combining the unmissable Trou du Duc with more classic sections. A hike to do for a change of scenery when you've already done all the others and want something different!

This is stage 7 in the series of Route des Grands Crus walks runs from Nuits-St-Georges through the vineyards and woods and combes to Gevrey-Chambertin. Both of these small towns are host to some of the most famous red wines in the world as are some of the charming villages and landmarks in between like Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny and Chateau de Vougeot. It is a dog friendly walk (there is a good veterinary surgery in Nuits). It is a fairly long and reasonably challenging walk as there are some climbs in the middle leading off the vineyards into the woods. Return by bus and train is possible to the start.

Discover the caves and cavities in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Combe Pernand and its still-active quarry.

This is an easy hike in open terrain with beautiful views of the Hautes-Côtes. It is an ideal walk for a half-day in autumn (the vineyards are magnificent) or winter (the terrain is very passable).

30 km from Dijon, on the heights of the Côte Nuitonne, take a walk in the Val de Vergy, a historic site in Burgundy and stronghold of the "valiant" Vergy family, a prestigious family deeply rooted in past and present memories. Étang Vergy, Abbaye Saint Vivant, Curtil-Vergy and Bévy are all on our route.

Discover two magnificent valleys with splendid panoramic views. Some very tricky sections, especially on the descents, which involve some climbing. You can avoid these difficulties, but this will mean missing out on some thrilling experiences and beautiful views of the valleys. Take a look at the photos to get an idea of the difficulties before setting off on this hike. Nothing is insurmountable, but it's better to be warned.

A circular route starting from Étang-Vergy leading to Bévy, Collonges-lès-Bévy, then to Chevannes through the forests of Collonges, Chevannes and Arcenant, skirting Meuilley and Messanges, before reaching Curtil-Vergy.

Also on the programme are the pretty, traditional villages of Corboin and Concoeur, then Segrois. Not to mention the Abbey of Saint-Vivant, which is currently being renovated.

For locals, "La Montagne de Beaune" is like a little paradise just a stone's throw from the big city. This well-known site can still surprise walkers with its scenery and its many perfectly maintained paths.

This hike, mainly in the forest and on the heights of the Côte-d'Or, will take you to the vast Grotte de Roche Chèvre cave, which is well worth a visit. Please note, however, that there are two passages with tall grass.

Alexandre Dumas wrote: " No view, no site, however varied, picturesque or grandiose, could make me forget my little valley in Burgundy ". To the west of Beaune, valleys and hills follow one another to welcome the vineyards of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. On limestone soil, I invite you to discover these beautiful landscapes through the vineyards.
