Remigny offers a variety of ways to shape a trip: the GR 76 long-distance hiking trail passes through the village, a Voie Verte runs alongside the Canal du Centre, and a circular cycling route starts here. There are also buildings with distinctive architectural details and wine tastings in the cellar at Domaine Diconne Jean-François. This range of options makes it possible to choose where to stay based on specific interests—from outdoor activities to architectural history and wine.
On foot, by bike or on the rocks
The GR 76 is a long-distance hiking trail that passes through Remigny. Near the church, a Voie Verte runs along the Canal du Centre and is reserved for pedestrians. This offers different types of routes: the long-distance trail that passes through the village and the pedestrian path alongside the canal.
There is also a specific starting point for a bike ride: the “Le Grand Tour de la Montagne de Chassey” circular route begins in Remigny. Check the route file before setting off. This lets you include route planning in your preparations rather than relying on the starting point alone to guide you along the route.
The climbing area near Remigny features rock faces between Remigny and Bouzeron. The faces have been cleaned and climbing routes established. Check the current condition of the routes before a climbing trip. Hiking, cycling and climbing are three distinct ways to discover Remigny and its surroundings, each with a different focus.
Church and washhouse
The Church of Saint-Antoine is dedicated to Saint Anthony. Round-arched openings throughout the structure give it a uniformly Romanesque appearance. Both its dedication and the recurring arch motif are important to its architectural character: the church combines a clearly defined religious association with a distinctive architectural style.
Another detail to observe is Remigny’s washhouse. Its impluvium roof collects rainwater in the basin, so the roof also serves a water-management function. A statue of Saint Vincent holding a bunch of grapes also stands at the washhouse. The two buildings are distinguished by different features: the church’s dedication and round arches shape its appearance, while the washhouse is defined by its basin, roof and statue.
Canal du Centre and CĂ´te chalonnaise
The Canal du Centre is more than just a landmark for the Voie Verte. Its history can also be placed in context: engineer Emiland Gauthey built the canal in the late 18th century. Together with the path alongside the canal, this history offers another perspective on Remigny, alongside its outdoor activities and local buildings.
To understand the landscape, it is worth looking at the wider Côte chalonnaise area. Remigny is one of the municipalities in the ZNIEFF “Côte chalonnaise de Chagny à Salornay-sur-Guye.” The wider area includes dry grasslands, boxwood thickets, deciduous forests, conifer plantations, vineyards, meadows, cultivated land and watercourses. The regional perspective therefore encompasses more than vineyards alone; it includes a variety of natural and cultural landscapes, without implying that each of these features belongs to any one particular place.
Wine tasting by appointment
Domaine Diconne Jean-François offers wine tastings in its cellar in Remigny. An appointment is required. If you would like to include a tasting in your travel plans, arrange your visit in advance and plan it as a separate activity. This allows you to consider this specific wine experience alongside the routes and buildings, without assuming that you can join spontaneously.
