La Haute Côte-d'Or : entre histoire et héritage

21150 Bussy-le-Grand

Tip: take two days to complete the walk This route forms a loop, so you can start at any point along the way. In the heart of Burgundy, between the Auxois and Morvan regions, set off to discover some medieval gems, including the towns of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain and Noyers-sur-Serein, which have been designated ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’, as well as Semur-en-Auxois, Saulieu and Avallon. Architecture enthusiasts will be captivated by the châteaux of Bussy-Rabutin, Ancy-le-Franc, Tanlay and Bazoches. As World Heritage Sites, don’t miss the Basilica of Vézelay and Fontenay Abbey, both listed by UNESCO. In between, the town of Montbard, with its museum and park dedicated to Buffon – the naturalist and friend of Diderot – and Buffon’s Grande Forge, stand as testaments to the Age of Enlightenment. Then take a stroll through the natural site of the Sources de la Seine. Finally, history enthusiasts can learn about the Celts through the Vix Treasure at the Musée du Châtillonnais, and about the Gauls at the Muséoparc Alésia.
