The first chapel was built here in the 15th century and was the destination of many pilgrims, some of them famous. It was destroyed during the French Revolution. The current chapel was built between 1877 and 1896 and had to be renovated several times due to weather conditions, most recently in 2020.

The spring is beautifully arranged and decorated (at least during Easter). There's also a small seating area where you can rest after the climb.

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.

Chapel restored in 2020, the interior of which can be visited between May 1st and Heritage Day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., including Sundays and public holidays. Splendid golden statue that looks a bit like that of Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille. Beautiful view of the Ouche valley. A few benches and picnic tables, allow a little less than an hour to climb from Velars-sur-Ouche (preferably, take the winding paths rather than the steep shortcuts)

Small Burgundian village nestled between the Montagne d'Etang and Mont Afrique, with a few Burgundy stone houses and a washhouse. A crossing point on the Naizou Circuit to Mont Afrique (starting from Flavignerot and ending at the Naizou fountain, which is very nice).

Stopover point before arriving at Notre Dame d’Etang. Allow approximately 30/40 minutes before reaching the Source Sainte-Anne from the village of Velars-sur-Ouche
