Advice: make the walk in 2 days

This route is a loop so it is possible to start the itinerary at any stage.

In the heart of Burgundy, between Auxois and Morvan, discover some jewels from the Middle Ages, such as the cities of Flavigny-sur-Ozerain and Noyers-sur-Serein, labeled "Most beautiful Villages of France" or Semur-en-Auxois, Saulieu and Avallon. Architecture lovers will be seduced by the castles of Bussy-Rabutin, Ancy-le-Franc, Tanlay or Bazoches.

Don't miss the basilica of Vézelay and the Abbey of Fontenay, classified by Unesco as world heritage sites. Between the two, the city of Montbard, its Museum and its Park dedicated to Buffon, naturalist and friend of Diderot, and the Great Forge of Buffon, witnesses of the Age of Enlightenment. Then go for a stroll on the natural site of the Sources de la Seine. Finally, history lovers will discover the Celts through the Treasure of Vix at the Musée du Châtillonnais, then the Gauls at the Museopark Alésia.
