La Bourgogne est une vaste contrée, que je me propose de découvrir au fur et à mesure de mes parcours gravel qui, je l'espère, m'emmeneront de plus en plus loin. Entre forêts, berges de canaux et de Saône, vignobles, plaines et collines ou monts, combes et bois touffus, il y a de quoi explorer. Ses petites routes, ses chemins ruraux ou forestiers, ses voies de berge, ses voies vélo, ses sentiers, tout donne envie de prendre son vélo gravel et de tracer.

Easy to St Jean de Losne, from the extra flat at the edge of the Ouges canal and on small rural roads, asphalt and earth or sandy terrain. Then the Burgundy canal to the harbors or refit basin of the barges, at the entrance to St Jean. Then, I put rhythm, in the wind, on track and false flat amounts…

Some trimming is required owing to some route adjustments that had to be made when out there.
Definitely the most varied and interesting route ever ridden to Côte d'Or. Can still be improved though, via Citeaux Forests and Côtes de Nuits vineyards- that will be for my next day trip to Chenôve.

St Jean-de-Losne, carrefour fluvial en Bourgogne
Bike Touring Highlight
St Jean de Losne is worth a stop. To admire the numerous barges in the refit pools, and in the garage on the banks of the Saône. I have not yet visited the Museum of Shipping, I promise to do so soon - St Jean de Losne seduces with its very different atmosphere, that of shipping. Between the Burgundy Canal, the Saône and the Rhône-Rhine Canal, it was and still is a river crossroads, now largely oriented towards tourism. The surroundings of St Jean de Losne are also very popular with fishermen.

Pittoresque village en Côte bourguignonne
Mountain Biking Highlight
Chambolle-Musigny is first of all a superb Burgundian village, in its own juice. Nestled in the vineyards of the same name, which give a splendid wine with a taste of red fruits, much appreciated by connoisseurs. The picturesque village is also due to its location, at the entrance to one of the most beautiful valleys on the coast of Nuits St Georges. It is a paradise, for walkers, for mountain bikers and for lovers of great wines and good food.

FERME FRUIROUGE
Mountain Biking Highlight
La Ferme Fruirouge sells organic products made by Isabelle and Sylvain, and their son. All based on red fruit grown by them, organically. Jams, fruit juices, cream .... hum, blackcurrant cream for kirs! And in addition a nice little shop and a pleasant welcome.

Morey-Saint Denis
Mountain Biking Highlight
Morey Saint Denis wine belongs to the "Climats de Bourgogne" - it's one of my favourite Burgundy wines! vins-bourgogne.fr/nos-vins-nos-terroirs/la-bourgogne-et-ses-appellations/morey-saint-denis,2377,9170.html?&args=Y29tcF9pZD0yMjA1JmFjdGlvbj12aWV3RmljaGUmaWQ9MzU3Jnw%3D

A tower that mixes asphalt and earth, with a large proportion of asphalt. Ideal for recovering or strolling in the wind. The first part contains all the difficulties; once you fork in the woods, under the tower of Mount Africa, that easy, a treat! The woods of Flavignerot are always magnificent, the…

Very nice course north-west of Dijon. From the windy horizon, singles in swirling undergrowth, forest paths, climbs on the grassy hillside, stony paths uphill as well as downhill. And the discovery of the wash house and the Etaules fountain and then the beautiful descent from the Combe to the Town Hall, another discovery.

Party with André to go and eat salad and pizza at Fixin. André returned straight, arms and shoulder / back still very painful. For me, back to the bush via the white path, then the balcony trail of the Fixin valley, then the White Trail, the Rente Neuve and the strategic path. In the descent, big beugnes…

Panorama sur Baulme-la-Roche et ses falaises
Bike Touring Highlight
Superb view of the Baulme la Roche valley from above the cliffs. Every year you can see peregrine falcons nesting as well as large crows (be careful not to disturb them from March to mid-May. Also exceptional paragliding site.

Cool, a little wind, clouds and no sun, ideal temperatures, many hunts, a mix of small roads and gravel paths, not bad at all at the exit with a few sections between Corcelles and Savouges that I did not know.
