The Creux Percé is an inverted cone-shaped collapsed chasm approximately 60 m deep and with a circumference ranging from 35 to 25 m at the surface. This chasm is primarily known to speleologists. Exploration of this chasm and its lateral networks began in the 19th century. This site has long been a natural icehouse with a bottom that reaches sub-zero temperatures, even in summer. https://www.bourgogne-tourisme.com/ In May 2025, a special outing, supervised by the Dijon Speleo Club, will allow visitors to descend into this crater.

Not only rivers as natural watercourses run through the country, but also many - artificially created - canals. In times long past, they were an essential part of the transport infrastructure, before rail and road took over this role. But even if this canal flowing through Burgundy is nowhere near as famous as the almost legendary "Canal du Midi" (which has at least been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the "Canal de Bourgogne" here near Dijon offers very nice opportunities for exercise in nature.

At the top of the valley, this huge rock is a top climbing spot. The view is also impressive.

From the top of these cliffs, the panoramic view is magnificent. The cliffs have a height of about 100 meters and a dizzying drop, so you have to be careful.

This chasm or sinkhole, in the town of Pasques, in the middle of the woods, is impressive and really worth a detour. It can also be the goal of a hike or mountain bike. Especially since a chalet built nearby offers a nice shelter - for a picnic, or a bivouac.
