To the newcomer: 30 years of running in this magnificent, magical place. Every tree still standing remembers my passing; other trees have disappeared after thousands of kilometers traveled. Today, at 70 years old, I still train here in this place.

Listed as a historical monument, the Château de Longecourt is built of brick and stone. Today it is a charming guest house with 5 bedrooms and a suite.

An artificial lake commissioned by Canon Félix Kir, former mayor of Dijon. A great place to recharge your batteries not far from the train station, the tour takes about an hour on foot. Ideally, you can reach the city center via the Promenade de l'Ouche, one of the city's green lungs.
