サン＝ジェルベ＝シュル＝クーシュ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

A hiking trail to the right circles the Hill of the Three Crosses. First uphill, as always, then a leisurely descent. Afterwards, a quick lunch with friendly people in Santenay's market square!

The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, and so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, points the observer to the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, once composed the following prayer on this subject: "Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber on your left, and of the short-sighted and the corrupt (...) Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to identify us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and stole paradise with honesty and integrity.

The imposing bridge, 158 metres long, is surrounded on the north side by a cliff edge and overlooks the Cozanne valley.

Very beautiful canal, with continuous cycle path (EV6)

Weather permitting, this spot offers a wonderful view. Two signs provide orientation. Dolmen sites around the mountain indicate that it played a role for humans as early as 5000 BC, but rare plants and animals also thrive here. Another unique feature is that the border between two departments runs here, so one of the three crosses is in Côte-d'Or and the other two in Saône-et-Loire.

Unfortunately, the future is still unclear, at least until the confiscation by the state becomes legally binding and the way can finally be paved for a new use. Until then, the castle will continue to fall into disrepair - what a pity.

The Canal du Centre was built between 1783 and 1793 to ensure communication between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The greenway that runs alongside the canal is part of EuroVelo 6 and skirts southern Burgundy between the Saône and the Loire. This segment offers beautiful panoramas of the Santenay vineyards.
