Vitteaux is the starting point for two signposted circular hikes: to the archaeological site of “Camp de Myard” or to the rocks of Saffres.

Very nice place for campsite while bikepacking. The location is quite used by locals. But Beware water at the graveyard next to it is not drinkable!

A popular site for rock climbers, but these cliffs and rocks have something to offer hikers too - magnificent views as far as the eye can see.

Vitteaux is a municipality with about 1000 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) in the Côte-d'Or department in the Burgundy region and is the capital of the canton of Semur-en-Auxoi. The beautiful Brenne river flows through the village. In a one-hour tour, starting at the tourist information - where there are also flyers - you can visit the sights (market hall, octagonal tower, several half-timbered houses from the 15th-17th century, Hospital Saint-Nicolas).

It is one of the supply reservoirs of the Canal de Bourgogne. Located in the town of Grosbois-en-Montagne. It is a place for fishing and also for swimming in the summer, with an equipped beach.
