Villers-la-Faye walks

A signposted trail along the entire route takes in the rich landscapes of the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, as well as the village of Villers-la-Faye.

A family route, with 75% shaded forest paths and 25% white vineyard paths. As you set off, you'll have a view of the village of Chaux and its plateau, then pass the Monument du Canon dating from 1872. Finally, along the Chemin des Vignes, you'll see the 'cabottes', typical cottage-like housing of vineyard workers.

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 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.

A hike to discover villages known for their fine wines, nestled among vineyards and woodlands.

Stroll around the ruins of the region's most powerful fortified castle. Visit the ruins of the Abbey of Saint-Vivant and explore the Abîme de Bévy.

This short hike takes you through a wide variety of landscapes and offers superb views of the Burgundy vineyards. For wine lovers, it runs alongside the prestigious Romanée Conti vineyard.

An easy walk in the hills above Beaune. Views of the town and vineyards. Return via the Parc de la Bouzaise.

This is stage 4 of the Route des Grands Crus series (RDGC). It covers the path from Beaune outskirts at Bouzaise Park through to Savigny-lès-Beaune and then Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton. It is dog-friendly and runs through charming villages, famous vineyards and wonderful countryside with great views. You will walk in both open country and the woods using good tracks or very quiet roads. There is some climbing but in general the walk is reasonably flat. Directions are well signposted. Although Aloxe-Corton is slightly off the official RDGC we finish there for a number of reasons outlined below including return route options

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.

Hiking, almost entirely in the forest, is very pleasant in summer. Beautiful views of the vineyards. In the centre of the village, there is a church and a magnificent lime tree.

Beautiful hike starting from the village of Chambolle. This trail allows you to (re)discover the Château d'Entre Deux Monts, the Château du Clos Vougeot, and the natural heritage of the Chambolle Musigny and Orveau valleys.

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.
