Jardins et parc du Château
de Barbirey-sur-Ouche
This landscaped English-style park,
designed in the 19th century and listed
as ‘Jardin remarquable’ (‘Remarkable
Garden’, a label granted by the Ministry of Culture) since 2004, is spread
out over 8 hectares / 19 acres. It has
maintained the classical appearance of
a landscaped garden, including a large
terraced kitchen garden, an orchard, a
water garden, a flowering prairie and
woodlands. The park offers a great variety of atmospheres and biotopes, and
constitutes a harmonious interaction
between garden, landscape and village.
This forest interpretation centre offers groups of
five people and more: nature activities based on
the local fauna and flora, tree climbing and GPS
circuits in the woods (treasure hunts), in the setting of what is to become the national park ‘Entre
Champagne et Bourgogne’.
Saint-Martin-de-la-mer
Domaine de la
Pierre Ronde
Domaine de la Pierre Ronde
is a natural area stretching
over 25 hectares / 61 acres in
the heart of the Le Morvan
Regional Natural Park. Spend
the night in a cocoon where
you have everything you need
to enjoy this unforgettable
experience. Venture a natural
excursion, an evening of taletelling, fishing on the lake,
hiking, napping in a hammock,
and more.

Located on the Nuits-Saint-Georges
plateau, the Fruirouge farm invites
you to discover the old-fashioned
manufacture of fruits grown and
processed on-site. Cultivation, processing and sales of jams and butters,
beverages, condiments (including
blackcurrant vinegars, mustard and
ketchup) as well as the famous fruit
jelly confectionery.
This ‘house of a thousand truffles and
mushrooms’ is a mycology interpretation
centre. Within its wooden building, the
centre includes an exhibition room where
the underground world of the truffle has
been reconstructed, as well as a video room
where you can watch a film showing a
demonstration of truffle hunting in the forest;
outside, the surrounding woods offer an enchanting
décor. Here you are at the heart of a truffle-filled woodland
world.

Nature
Biking
In spite of their technical differences, the two disciplines are
similar and the terms are often
used together to refer to the
same type of sports activity.
In Côte-d’Or, the main destinations for the two activities
are the Saône River and the
Burgundy Canal.
Two of the most popular bike paths are the ‘véloroute’ along the
Burgundy Canal and the Voie des Vignes. These are far from being
exclusive options but rather offer complementary features. After the
‘voie verte’, why not try the ‘voie bleue’, which will take you to the
banks of the Saône...
Parcours EcoPagayeur®
Head off to discover the Saône River
and the surrounding waterways
aboard a canoe or kayak. You will
be welcomed by professionals who
ensure that you embark with all the
information you’ll need to discover
the environment (wildlife), heritage
and what makes the region special.
Whether you depart from SaintJean-de-Losne, Heuilley-sur-Saône
or Auxonne, ‘EcoPagayeur’ circuits
have more than one gem to reveal!

The culminating point of Côte d’Or is situated at a little more than 700 m / 2296 ft of
altitude, so there are no mountains to climb! Still, best to lace up your hiking boots
when setting off on the area’s trails. They are numerous, enabling you to choose
your circuit from the 1300 km / 807 mi of circuits, 707 km / 439 mi of cross-country
paths, and 475 km / 295 mi of long-distance hiking paths that crisscross Côte d’Or.
Although better known for its rolling
hills than its spiky peaks, Côte-d’Or
offers more than 3000 routes spread
over 17 chalky cliffs. These routes
thrill climbers from Paris, Lyon and
even other countries, who strive to
outdo each other in reaching the
summits. The climbers, who have
come for a physical challenge, leave
the area with the mental images
of the magnificent views that their
discipline offers.
