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.

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.

Path that runs along the small river of the Sansfond. Doable on gravel but to be done at reduced speed because of some tricky passages and quite a few roots on the route. Lots of mosquitoes in summer.
