A very pleasant climb through the woods, and very accessible to beginners (3% average gradient). It can sometimes be foggy, so bring lights to ensure you are clearly visible to vehicles.

The history of this very interesting church dates back to the 6th century. The parish website provides many interesting details about the building: https://www.saint-michel-dijon.com/

Not only rivers as natural watercourses run through the country, but also many - artificially created - canals. In times long past, they were an essential part of the transport infrastructure, before rail and road took over this role. But even if this canal flowing through Burgundy is nowhere near as famous as the almost legendary "Canal du Midi" (which has at least been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the "Canal de Bourgogne" here near Dijon offers very nice opportunities for exercise in nature.
