In the heart of Burgundy, nature, heritage and gastronomy are the assets of Côte-d'Or! The history of France was written in the department: from the Celts to the Renaissance, you'll pass through every era. Here, châteaux create real backdrops. Here, Vercingetorix fought his last battle. Here, the abbeys resonate with their thousand-year-old past. Here, the Dukes of Burgundy left their mark. Here, France's most beautiful villages overlook postcard-perfect countryside. Here, vineyards have shaped history. Côte-d'Or is rich in religious and wine heritage. UNESCO has recognised the universal value of two of the region's outstanding sites: Fontenay Abbey and the Burgundy vineyards. French gastronomic meals are also part of the network, listed as part of humanity's intangible cultural heritage and embodied in 8 gourmet routes across the department. Côte-d'Or has plenty to offer in the way of wildlife, with a regional nature park and a national park boasting 50 million trees, almost 450km of cycle routes and greenways, the Burgundy canal, the Saône and the Seine, a paradise for river tourists, not to mention 2,000 climbing routes and 16 reference sites, golf courses, diving and lakes...

Known for its marble quarry, Pouillenay is home to the 15th-century château de Villiers, listed as a historic monument in 1925.

Km 17.8

POSANGES (POP: 50)  

Château de Posanges

Construction: 15th century.

Style: medieval.

History: Guillaume du Bois, a lord from Berry, was initially attached to the household of Philip, Count of Charolais, son of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. He remained in Philip's service when, in 1419, the latter became Duke in his turn as Philip III of Burgundy, known as Philippe the Good. Guillaume du Bois acquired the seigneury of Posanges in 1437. He built the castle there, which was probably completed before his death in 1453. The building soon became a farm and remained so until 1964, when it became the site of a fabric factory. The castle has been restored since 1980.

Characteristics: the plan of the building is not quite square, but slightly trapezoidal. The castle is flanked by 4 round towers linked by almost blind curtain walls, except on the south side. The north curtain wall is pierced by a gate surmounted by a brattice. The whole complex is surrounded by a moat some fifteen metres wide, fed by the Brenne, a small tributary of the Armançon. The monument is in a very good state of preservation.

Listed as: historical monument in 1913. 

Km 20.3

VITTEAUX (POP: 1,090)

In the heart of the Auxois region, with the waters of the Brenne running through it, the small town of Vitteaux has preserved the remains of fortifications and fine medieval and Renaissance houses, grouped around the 13th-century covered market. Maison Bélime is a fine example of medieval architecture, with its geminated windows and massive fireplace. Equally charming is the timber-framed house on the square, which houses the tourist office. The covered market and the Saint-Nicolas hospital are also listed buildings. Close to the village is the Marcilly racecourse, which hosts national-level races. In 1972, Vitteaux hosted the French women's road championships, won by Geneviève Gambillon. It was the third of her seven national road titles.  

Maison Bélime (Belime House)

Construction: 13th century.

Style: Gothic.

History and characteristics: built around 1230, Maison Belime is a fine example of medieval civil architecture, with its semi-circular arched windows and three-lobed arches. Originally, the first church in Vitteaux occupied the site that was later dedicated to the house of early Gothic art. It was built by Mathilde de Courtenay (1188-1257), Countess of Nevers, Auxerre and Tonnerre. It became the home of the guards of the castle, which was under the control of the Dukes of Burgundy. In 1783, François Belime, notary and King's Councillor, lawyer at court and grain merchant at the Pouilly and Vitteaux salt storehouses, bought the property. Today, Maison Belime is still owned by the family's descendants and is used as a guest house.

Listed as: historical monument since 1968.

Km 35.4

Km 47

SAINT-SEINE-L'ABBAYE (POP: 360) 

Saint-Seine Abbey

Built between 1255 and the 15th century.

Style: Gothic.

History: the abbey is said to have been named after a monk called Soigne, who retired to the heart of the Cestres forest around 534. After his death in 581, his name was changed to "Saint Seine" in reference to the springs near the Seine. Little is known about the abbey's activities between the 6th and 13th centuries. Several building campaigns were carried out between 1205 and 1255. The choir and the north transept, as well as the lower parts of the nave of the south transept survive from this period. At the time of the French Revolution, the abbey had only two monks. Demolition stopped after the abbey was sold in 1846, when it became a hydrotherapy establishment. In 1942, the property was bought by the Sisters of Providence.

Characteristics: a fire in 1255 destroyed the buildings, which were only rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries by Abbots Jean de Blaisy and Pierre de Fontette. All that remains of the abbey is the abbey church. The nave has four bays and side aisles. The façade features a porch set between two towers, while the choir contains remarkable early 15th-century frescoes depicting the life of Saint Seine, and 18th-century choir stalls.

Listed as: historical monument since 1862.

Km 78.3

MINOT (POP: 190)

Once famous for its fairs, Minot was the administrative centre of the canton and had a population of almost 800 at the time of the French Revolution. The village has preserved an important church, Saint-Pierre, and a massive 15th and 17th century château, which was listed as a Historical Monument in 1992 and cannot be visited.  

Saint-Pierre Church

Construction: 12th to 14th centuries.

Style: Gothic.

History: this former Romanesque chapel serves as the choir of the church, which was extended in the 13th century to include a six-bay nave with side aisles. Alterations were made to the nave and side aisles in the 14th and 15th centuries. At the end of the 18th century, a stone porch in the Tuscan style replaced an old building where the inhabitants used to take refuge in case of danger. In the 19th century, heavy buttresses were added to enlarge the bays.

Characteristics: Early Gothic church with three naves. The central nave has six bays and the side aisles each end in a chapel with an altarpiece. A remarkable 17th-century altarpiece stands at the back of the blind nave.

Listed as: historical monument since 1941.

Between nature, wide open spaces and well-being, culture and history, the wild and unspoilt lands of Haute-Marne are brimming with expertise that is the pride of local producers and tourists alike. Forests, lakes, springs - the region offers a multitude of walks in the heart of unspoilt nature. For example, the Forêts National Park, straddling the border between Burgundy (Côte d'Or) and Champagne (Haute-Marne), is the most recent of France's 11 national parks. It protects a rich and rare wildlife. Haute-Marne also has 4,000 km of roads and a canal linking Champagne and Burgundy, a lifeline that crosses the whole department. Farmland, forests full of game, natural resources are increasingly used in short circuits. With a view to guaranteeing the quality of meals and supporting the development of local food circuits, the Haute-Marne Departmental Council has joined the national Agrilocal network. Introducing local produce to the plates of schoolchildren, the elderly and tourists is one of the department's objectives, particularly with the "Jeudis haut-marnais" (Thursdays in Haute-Marne) in the canteens. When it comes to healthcare, the department is fighting to ensure a sustainable quality offer and care pathways tailored to the needs of the population. Two hospitals will be built, one in Langres and the other in Chaumont. This is an unprecedented public investment of €140 million, shared 50 pc by the French government and 50 pc by the Haute-Marne Departmental Council, the Haute-Marne GIP and the Regional Council. The attractiveness of the area for healthcare professionals is also booming, with the creation of a health centre for salaried doctors.

Km 103.7

AUBERIVE (POP: 150)

The village grew up around its Cistercian abbey. The monks of the abbey exploited the surrounding forests until the French Revolution.  

Auberive Abbey

Foundation: 1135

Style: Cistercian abbey.

History: Founded by St. Bernard, then abbot of Clairvaux, the Cistercian abbey of Auberive embodies all the ideals of this monastic movement. Twenty-fourth branch of Clairvaux, it reached its apogee in the 13th century. In the 16th century, the abbots were appointed by Francis I and an abbey palace was built. The abbey was very wealthy and was rebuilt in the 18th century to plans by Claude-Louis Daviler. Abel Caroillon de Vandeul, Diderot's son-in-law, bought the buildings and set up a cotton mill there between 1797 and 1807. It then became a factory and, from 1856, a women's prison. Briefly returned to monastic life between 1927 and 1960, it then became a holiday camp and a centre for contemporary art.

Special features: Louise Michel, the "red virgin" of the Paris Commune, was incarcerated in Auberive Abbey, then a women's prison, before being deported to New Caledonia.

Current use: the site is now owned by industrialist Jean-Claude Volot, mayor of Auberive, who is responsible for its cultural rehabilitation, including a contemporary art centre and a summer music and festival season. The site is open to the public. The six-and-a-half hectare park also contains a conservatory orchard of old varieties of fruit trees. The former abbot's palace houses an inn.

Listed as: historical monument since 1956.

Km 108.6

BAY-SUR-AUBE (POP: 50)  

Church of Saint-Hippolyte

Construction: 13th century.

Style: Romanesque-Gothic.

Characteristics: perched on a rocky hill, the church of Saint Hippolyte, regarded as a Gothic masterpiece, simultaneously reflects all the characteristics of Romanesque art, from the balance of its volumes to the purity of its lines. Under the porch, several works of art invite you to enter: a semi-circular portal surmounted by a stone statue depicting the martyrdom of St Hippolytus according to Greek legend (15th-16th century), a polychrome stone sculpture from the 16th century and engraved funerary slabs. Inside, this 13th-century Gothic ensemble is entirely rib-vaulted.

Special features: since 1999, a concert has been given here at half past five in the morning on 13 August, St. Hippolytus Day, first by the medieval ensemble La Rosa, then by the ensemble Alba Dolce. Between 5.30am and 7am, the sun shines through the oculus into the church square, creating a play of light.

Listed as: historical monument since 1906.

Km 132.2

 LEFFONDS (POP: 340)  

Commandery of Mormant

Construction: 12th to 14th centuries.

Style: medieval.

History: the historic site of Mormant, first mentioned in the early 12th century, has undergone many vicissitudes in the course of its existence. Managed by Augustinian monks for almost a century, the site briefly passed into the hands of the Knights Templar and then the Hospitallers. Transformed into an agricultural centre by the Hospitallers, the site gradually fell into ruin during the Renaissance. As national property, it was finally sold in several lots during the French Revolution.

Characteristics: the southernmost building served as a hostelry-hospital. It comprises two long naves vaulted in arched cradles resting on 21 columns. Parallel to this is the large Maison-Dieu, dating from the same period and comprising four bays. The last bay is vaulted and its keystone bears the coat of arms of the Hospitaller Order. To the east of the Maison-Dieu was a chapel. All that remains is a vault belonging to the Commander of Bosredon, who had a curtain wall with numerous gunports built to protect the commandery.

Listed as: historical monument in 1989.

Km 146.8

CHAUMONT (POP: 21,700)

The etymology of Chaumont, Calvus Mons or bald mountain, refers to the site on which the town was built in the 10th century: a steep rock overlooking the Suize and Marne valleys. As the former residence of the Counts of Champagne, who ruled the entire region, the town very early on enjoyed a strategic position on the borders of Burgundy and Lorraine. Chaumont was the site of the signing of a famous treaty that paved the way for the Holy Alliance of European sovereigns against Napoleon I and was also chosen by General Pershing in 1917 as the headquarters for American troops in Europe. Once the capital of the glove industry, Chaumont is now the city of posters, with the Festival International de l'Affiche et du Graphisme (International Poster and Graphic Design Festival) providing an opportunity to discover the old Dutailly collection (posters by Toulouse Lautrec, Choubrac...) and the contemporary work of numerous international graphic designers. When the town's patron saint, St John the Baptist, celebrated on 24 June, falls on a Sunday, the town organises the Grand Pardon de Chaumont, which dates back to the end of the 15th century. The next event will take place in 2029. Famous for its volleyball club, French champions in 2017, Chaumont was a stage town for the Tour de France in 1974, when Cyrille Guimard won the sprint.  

Chaumont keep

Construction: 11th and 12th centuries.

Style: medieval.

History: Standing on a rocky hill overlooking the Suize valley by more than 45 metres, it is the only remaining vestige of the castle of the Counts of Champagne in Chaumont. A square tower some twenty metres high, it has retained its medieval appearance over the centuries. Originally a defensive structure, it was used as a prison from 1830 to 1866. Many of the graffiti carved by prisoners on the interior walls date from this period.

Current destination: the Chaumont Museum of Art and History is a town museum devoted to regional archaeology, the fine arts (painting and sculpture) and 19th-century glove-making. It has been housed in the town's keep since 1965 and has been awarded the "Musée de France" label.

Listed as: historical monument since 1926.  

Cot Museum

Designed to evoke Christmas, it features the finest collection of 18th-century Neapolitan nativity scenes preserved in France. The composition is traditional: the Holy Family is surrounded by a multitude of small figures representing Neapolitan society, among whom are the sumptuously dressed Magi and their procession of exotic colours. Other cots in Nevers terracotta and spun glass, wax Christ-children and Nativity paintings, including the famous Holy Family on the Stairs from Poussin's studio, complete this collection.
