    Notre Dame d'Etang is one of the main Marian sanctuaries in Burgundy and the highest point in the metropolis of Dijon. The building located on Mount Africa is at an altitude of 600 meters. The place also offers very beautiful views of the surroundings.

      The first chapel was built here in the 15th century and was the destination of many pilgrims, some of them famous. It was destroyed during the French Revolution. The current chapel was built between 1877 and 1896 and had to be renovated several times due to weather conditions, most recently in 2020.

        Chapel restored in 2020, the interior of which can be visited between May 1st and Heritage Day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., including Sundays and public holidays. Splendid golden statue that looks a bit like that of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille. Beautiful view of the Ouche valley. A few benches and picnic tables, allow a little less than an hour to climb from Velars-sur-Ouche (preferably, take the winding paths rather than the steep shortcuts)
