The hike

- Take the departmental road leading to SAINT-GENGOUX-LE-NATIONAL for 700m, then turn left onto a track leading into a wood towards La Sachette farm.

- Cross the Bois de Saules to the imposing Crainseny viaduct, which supports the old railway line linking the stations at Etiveau and CULLES-LES-ROCHES.

- Pass under the viaduct. In Noiseret, turn left onto the track that leads via the Moulin de Chatenay to the bottom of the village of CULLES-LES-ROCHES.

- You'll see the high Romanesque church, which you'll have to climb to reach. The view that awaits you will reward you for your effort. Take time to admire the typical Burgundian houses and old dovecotes.

- Descend to the west, follow the main road for 200m and turn left towards L'Ormeau. On your right is Mont Bouzu 461m.

- Follow the signposts along paths bordered by pastures, crossing the D28 twice. Descend the road and track, following the old railway line back to the starting point of this walk.
