Trails in Côte-d'Or

Did you know that this majestic department of 8763 square kilometers is the only one in France not named after a river or a mountain, but after the autumnal color of its vineyards? 🍂 This hilly paradise offers an incredible setting for every race in Côte-d'Or, with an oceanic climate tending towards semi-continental, promising cool mornings and sunny afternoons ☀️. Forget the dull pavement, you're going to enjoy a true nature race / in the forest / mountains or by the sea as you cross the sublime limestone combes of Dijon or the dense undergrowth of the Morvan 🌳. Look up and you might spot a peregrine falcon soaring above the splendid Château du Clos de Vougeot 🏰.

In the Dijon prefecture, renowned for its preserved architecture, you'll find the lucky owl doorstop that must be rubbed with the left hand 🦉. Moreover, like the famous naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffon from Montbard, you will study the terrain with precision to tackle the sometimes tricky elevation of the area ⛰️. And because intense effort deserves royal reward, the local cuisine with its soft Burgundian-Morvandian dialect will refresh you 🤤. Imagine savoring an authentic beef bourguignon or some garlic snails after passing through the scenery of Meursault that hosted the cult filming of La Grande Vadrouille! 🎬 As for performance, we recall that the French trail champion Thomas Cardin was born in Talant, proving that this land of engineers, like Gustave Eiffel born in Dijon, shapes athletes built to last 💪.

It's high time to check out the trail calendar to find the event that will make your season exciting 🗓️. You're inevitably going to love every trail in Côte-d'Or thanks to routes that combine sports and postcard scenery 🗺️.

You can also participate in the Race of Boudreville and Dancevoir for an ultra-friendly atmosphere on very rolling paths 👟.
