Description of the walk

Start: 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.

(S/E) Go around the lagoon and follow along the boxwood on the right for about ten metres, where a poorly marked path climbs to the top of the cliff - follow it never going back down until you see the GR® marking on the left. Follow the GR®76 as far as Bouzeron, then descend to the lowest point in the area until you reach a large fountain.

(1) Turn right, then take a path on the left that climbs straight up alongside a vineyard.
Now take the path through the box trees, which is still the GR®76, and follow it to the top of the hill.

(2) Take the GRP® Au Fil des Vignes et Vallée which starts on your left. From here, you'll head downhill towards Valotte, which you'll cross. Take the asphalt road on your right, which runs alongside a large wall.

(3) A little further on, turn left and follow the GRP® markings, then left again on a stony track that will take you to the stubble field. At the stubble field, continue straight ahead along the path, ignoring the crossroads. You'll come to the Neolithic site, cross it as far as the Redoute (redoubt), then take the steeply sloping path.

(4) Turn left onto a track which takes you to Bercully. Cross the country to reach the other side, on the road you'll see a small, poorly-marked path which descends to the left onto a tarmac road.

(5) Turn right and follow this road for a few hundred metres, then take the wide track on your left and follow it in a straight line as far as Nantoux.

(6) Follow the GRP°°®° markings which will take you directly to your car(S/E).

A pretty village with beautiful views over the vineyards and the Saône valley. Difficult starting point to find.

A pleasant route. In autumn, an early start will prevent you from enjoying the beautiful views due to the fog. No difficulty on the whole route.

30 April 2019. Difficult to find the start in the forest at the beginning, after that it gets better. At the start it is necessary to use the app to follow more or less the GPS track. Very nice views throughout this hike and at this time of year many wild orchids.

A hike with a wide variety of landscapes, done in 3 hours and 40 minutes (it was hot!).
We set off from the edge of the village of Agneux where we immediately took the GR.
Follow the map carefully (paper or Visorando route, which is parish specific to Brittany)

There were a few climbs that were good for the calves, so I'd classify this walk as medium rather than easy.

Positive:
A well explained walk with a fairly easy gradient, all completed in 3 hours, taking in the diverse scenery offered by this route... Don't hesitate to visit the small villages you pass through, Burgundy is beautiful.
See you again:
To park at the start, go 100m further to the three-way junction and turn right onto the small path that leads into the vineyards, there's plenty of space there...
A little more explanation on leaving Bercully to get back on the route.

superb hike but with a few minor drawbacks:
the start is rather difficult to find: "at the end of the wood after Agneux, the start of the hike starts on the right, go along the vineyard for 150 m and turn right into the wood etc..." seems simpler to me than "the lagoon" which does not exist or no longer exists, just a hollow that you cannot see from the road.
Be careful, the caterpillar moth has invaded the undergrowth and you have to clear the path with a stick to be able to move forward. The boxwoods are completely cooked with these nasty bugs.
Otherwise it was superb.
Duration 4h30 including a 20 minute snack stop.
Thank you very much.

A great walk, and we particularly enjoyed the diversity of the scenery.
An unusual walk between vineyards and valleys, with a slight gradient.
We'd recommend it to anyone who wants to discover this part of the GR7-76 and the Chalonnais hillsides.

It wasn't easy to find the starting point or to park the motorhome...!!!
Passing through the small villages was pleasant, and the route across the plateau was enjoyable and instructive.

The description of the starting point is rather approximate. Leaving Agneux, you very quickly find the GR 76, which takes you up above the cliffs. We got a bit lost on the pass after Bouzeron, which is where a marker would have been a great help. The walk ended up being a bit longer than we'd planned, but "when you love it, you don't count!

Superb walk, alternating between open countryside and crossing small villages.
The starting point is easy to find: the GPS locates the rue d'Agneux and then follow the instructions in the description.
We were with children, the youngest of whom was 10 years old: it's suitable.
In short, don't hesitate, it's a great walk with splendid views from the top of the ridges and the thatch.

For my part, I left Rully from the impasse Remenot. you park about 400 m after the beginning of the impasse. After a large building on the right, continue opposite a house with a basement you have a path that rises and joins the gr 76. take a left and follow the gr direction bouzeron. back by agneux take the path on the left (grp) and right path that descends then take Remenot by cliff. beautiful panorama. on the cliffs you will find the gr and go back down to your vehicle. Allow 30 to 45 minutes more but it's worth it.
