Boucle des Maillys
The Boucle des Maillys, a departmental property, is a unique site in the Côte-d'Or. Located in the heart of the Saône Valley, this river loop is intended to preserve water resources because it is home to one of the last unused water tables in the department. Thanks to its hedges, copses and meadows, the loop is also a favorable site for bird watching all year long.

This path invites you to discover the landscapes and the biodiversity of the Saône Valley.
In winter you can observe the Great Egret and the Grey Heron in the flooded meadows. When the sunny days come back, you can see the sparrow, the skylark or even rarer species like the meadow sparrow or the curlew.
For botany lovers, some interesting plant species can be observed on your route. These include the Fritillary (do not pick!) which can be seen during the month of March.
