The combes, valleys that have become dry, run from east to west and open onto the plain, offer a striking contrast in the landscape: slopes exposed to the north and south, creating an exceptional mosaic of natural environments with mountain and Mediterranean influences Between limestone lawns, cliffs, scree and forests of ravines at the "end of the world", this other nectar of the Dijon Coast is a major site of Burgundy flora, home to more than 500 species of flowers Located near the Dijon urban area, in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards, the nature reserve is well known to hikers, mountain bikers and climbers eager to discover remarkable natural areas.
