The best MTB trails around Saint-Aubin

there is a nice overview of the region

A hiking trail to the right circles the Hill of the Three Crosses. First uphill, as always, then a leisurely descent. Afterwards, a quick lunch with friendly people in Santenay's market square!

The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, and so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, points the observer to the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday, once composed the following prayer on this subject: "Help us, Son of Man, to free ourselves from the arrogance of the thief, the robber on your left, and of the short-sighted and the corrupt (...) Instead, we ask you, Son of God, to identify us with the good thief who looked at you with eyes full of shame, repentance, and hope; who, with the eyes of faith, saw divine victory in your apparent defeat and thus knelt before your mercy and grace and stole paradise with honesty and integrity.

Beautiful Romanesque church in a small picturesque village.

This dolmen is in the form of a megalithic chest covered with a large triangular slab. The base of this southeast-facing triangle is 3 m long. The other two sides are 3.50 m long. The dolmen has been listed as a historical monument since 1912. A second dolmen, located near Mont-de-Sène, not far from this dolmen, is still covered with a mound of earth.

Better known as "the Moulin de Santenay," this 19th-century windmill was faithfully restored in 1995. It is the only functioning communal windmill in the region. It features a beautiful oak frame, an elm spinning wheel, a chestnut roof, a pivot roof system, and a tower height of 8 m. The roof weighs 11 tons, including 2 tons of sails. The mill can be visited year-round by appointment at the Beaune & Pays Beaunois Tourist Office - Santenay Branch. The Mill Festival in June (activities, tours, and a working mill - weather permitting) • Vehicle access: Route de Chassagne. • Pedestrian and bicycle access: Rue du Rognier (Access points near the Tourist Office/Place du Jet d'Eau) [https://www.beaune-tourisme.fr/]

Weather permitting, this spot offers a wonderful view. Two signs provide orientation. Dolmen sites around the mountain indicate that it played a role for humans as early as 5000 BC, but rare plants and animals also thrive here. Another unique feature is that the border between two departments runs here, so one of the three crosses is in Côte-d'Or and the other two in Saône-et-Loire.
