Hiking – The Circuit of the Three Washhouses
Fourth hike of the summer, in partnership with Dijon Métropole and the Côte d’Or departmental hiking committee: the Circuit des 3 Lavoirs, in Ouges.
The 4th hike that we suggest takes us to Ouges, a charming little town, on the outskirts to the south-east of Dijon, a few kilometers from Longvic.
This very easy hike is accessible to the whole family. It is only 4 kilometers long and can be covered in barely 1 hour 30 minutes!
Why did we like this hike?
💜 The municipality of Ouges is really very charming! (and this is where one of the members of the J’aime Dijon team lived as a teenager… memories memories!)
It’s always nice to see and visit the little nuggets around Dijon, which are often overlooked. Village in 2 parts, it is perhaps the perfect compromise which combines town a few minutes’ drive away and countryside.
Finally, children will enjoy walking along the Canal de Bourgogne.
The stages of the Circuit des 3 Lavoirs hike
Fr that of doubt, pRemember to follow the yellow markings!
1 – In Petit-Ouges (landmark A), at the exit of the car park, after the departure panel, turn left to enter the impasse and continue by a dirt road called “the mass path” (so called by the inhabitants of Grand-Ouges who would take to get to the office). At the end of this path, turn right and take rue de l’Abbaye to a junction with avenue de la Gare.
2 – Cross, turn right for 20 m. At marker B, turn left along the washhouse towards a row of poplars bordering the football field, pass between two buildings to arrive on rue du Creux-aux-Chevaux to reach marker A. Take it left on 50 m, then turn right rue de la Fontaine. You will arrive at the second washhouse. (It was in this street that Nicolas raced his bikes at full speed with his friends at the time!)
3 – Continue the rue de la Fontaine. At the intersection with rue de Dijon, turn right towards the town hall.
4 – Opposite the town halltake rue Guynemer to the Canal de Bourgogne
5 – Take the towpath to the right (prough with children!) to lock 62 Petit-Ouges. Turn right towards Petit-Ouges. Arrival at the third washhouse.
6 – Continue to the crossroads and take rue Charles-de-Gaulle to return to the starting point.
