Tips from the Community
me puits 1, whose remains are located in the crossing of the high-voltage line, was filled with backfill after the construction of the Blaisy railway tunnel. It is not worked. Today, traces of a hole in the exposed rock remain in the middle of the brush. It is still visible in winter when the vegetation is dormant.

The Creux Percé is an inverted cone-shaped collapsed chasm approximately 60 m deep and with a circumference ranging from 35 to 25 m at the surface. This chasm is primarily known to speleologists. Exploration of this chasm and its lateral networks began in the 19th century. This site has long been a natural icehouse with a bottom that reaches sub-zero temperatures, even in summer. https://www.bourgogne-tourisme.com/ In May 2025, a special outing, supervised by the Dijon Speleo Club, will allow visitors to descend into this crater.

The Celerons viewpoint is accessible via a narrow path that branches off from the hiking trail. Caution! The path runs right along the edge of the cliffs. However, the view over the Combe des Vaux des Roches gorge and its foothills is fantastic and worth the short detour.

Superb forest path, on a rather gentle slope with a few harder passages. Passable on gravel even with small sections (35mm) but be careful with roots and stones. Avoid in wet weather if you don't like mud.
