Tips from the Community
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.

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.
